• Title: Hydrodynamic derivation of the Schr\"odinger equation and spacetime curvature of a quantum particle
• Authors: Naoki Sato
• Abstract summary: We show that spin represents the angular momentum associated with the rotation of a charged fluid within a massive particle. The rotation velocity can be evaluated through the current density of the fourth Maxwell equation. The hydrodynamic representation is then used to obtain the stress-energy-momentum tensor for a quantum particle.

• Abstract: We report a hydrodynamic derivation of the Schr\"odinger equation. The derivation only assumes that spin represents the angular momentum associated with the rotation of a charged fluid within a massive particle. The rotation velocity can be evaluated through the current density of the fourth Maxwell equation, leading to a quantum correction of the classical fluid energy. The Schr\"odinger equation then follows in Madelung form by application of the Poisson operator of the Euler equations for an ideal fluid to the total fluid energy including the quantum effect of internal spin. The hydrodynamic representation is then used to obtain the stress-energy-momentum tensor for a quantum particle. We find that the trace of the quantum modification to the stress-energy-momentum tensor expresses the energy density of an oscillator with frequency given by the vorticity of the internal rotation velocity. Finally, the stress-energy-momentum tensor is used to determine the relationship between the Ricci scalar curvature arising from the Einstein field equations and the fluid density associated with the hydrodynamic representation of the quantum particle in a static spherically symmetric configuration.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.
