Abstract: The issue of non-locality in quantum mechanics can potentially be resolved by considering relativistically covariant diffusion in four-dimensional spacetime. Stochastic particles described by the Klein-Gordon equation are shown to undergo a classical diffusion process in spacetime coordinates, which is seen by transforming the quantum Cauchy-momentum equations to a Lagrangian frame of reference. Since the quantum potential term is removed under this transformation, the equations for momentum propagation along particle trajectories assume a classical form. A local stochastic de Broglie-Bohm interpretation for the Klein-Gordon system can subsequently be derived. We also introduce the concept of momentum equivariance to replace the second-order Bohm-Newton equations of motion, which break down due to non-linear terms of the stochastic Lagrangian derivative.

Quantum Particle Statistics in Classical Shallow Water Waves [4.995343972237369]
We show that when locally oscillating particles are guided by real wave gradients, particles may exhibit trajectories of alternating periodic or chaotic dynamics. The particle probability distribution function of this analogy reveals the quantum statistics of the standard solutions of the Schr"odinger equation.

A dynamic programming interpretation of quantum mechanics [0.0]
We introduce a transformation of the quantum phase $S'=S+frachbar2logrho$, which converts the deterministic equations of quantum mechanics into the Lagrangian reference frame of particles. We show that the quantum potential can be removed from the transformed quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equations if they are solved as Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations.

Quantum wave representation of dissipative fluids [0.0]
We present a mapping between a Schr"odinger equation with a shifted non-linear potential and the Navier-Stokes equation. The inclusion of the Bohm quantum potential plus the laplacian of the phase field in the non-linear term leads to continuity and momentum equations for a dissipative incompressible Navier-Stokes fluid.

Quantum stochastic trajectories for particles and fields based on positive P-representation [0.0]
We introduce a phase-space description based on the positive P representation for bosonic fields interacting with a system of quantum emitters. The formalism is applicable to collective light-matter interactions and open quantum systems with decoherence. A potential future application is the quantum mechanical description of collective spontaneous emission of an incoherently pumped ensemble of atoms.

We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.
