• Abstract: We present a new hydrodynamic analogy of nonrelativistic quantum particles in potential wells. Similarities between a real variant of the Schr\"odinger equation and gravity-capillary shallow water waves are reported and analyzed. We show that when locally oscillating particles are guided by real wave gradients, particles may exhibit trajectories of alternating periodic or chaotic dynamics while increasing the wave potential. The particle probability distribution function of this analogy reveals the quantum statistics of the standard solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation and thus manifests as a classical deterministic interpretation of Born's rule. Finally, a classical mechanism for the transition between quasi-stationary states is proposed.

  We study the celebrated virial theorem for dissipative systems, both classical and quantum. The non-Markovian nature of the quantum noise leads to novel bath-induced terms in the virial theorem. We also consider the case of an electrical circuit with thermal noise and analyze the role of non-Markovian noise in the context of the virial theorem.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
