- Abstract: The dynamics of a quantum particle is governed by its wavefunction, which in
turn is determined by the classical potential to which it is subjected. However
the wavefunction itself induces a quantum potential, the particle `sees' the
sum of the classical and quantum potentials, and there is no way to separate
the two. Therefore in principle, part or whole of an observed potential may be
attributable to a quantum potential. We examine this possibility and discuss
implications.

We discuss the quantization of the quantum uncertainty as an operator acting on wave-functions over field space.
We show how this spectrum appears in the value of the coupling of the effective conformal potential driving the evolution of extended Gaussian wave-packets.
We conclude with an open question: is it possible to see experimental signatures of the quantization of the quantum uncertainty in non-relativistic physics?
