• Abstract: We solve the probability continuity equation within the Madelung-Bohm framework, assuming a separable phase expressed as $S(x,t) = Q(x)\dot{\nu}(t) + \mu(t)$. Using operator methods, we reformulate the wave function's amplitude into a form that is more practical for application to any given initial condition. This results in the function $F(x,t)$, which characterizes the wavefunction's amplitude, with $F$ being the transformation of the position operator via a squeeze-like operator. To demonstrate how this result can be applied, we examine two scenarios: one where the external potential is zero, causing the dynamics to originate only from the Bohm potential, and another where the form of $F$ mirrors the characteristics of wave propagation within optical waveguide arrays. In the second scenario, it is notable that the amplitude, phase, and potentials might become complex yet still comply with the Schr\"odinger equation.

  We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

  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.
