Abstract
It has recently been shown that any observed potential can in principle be generated via quantum mechanics using a suitable wavefunction. In this work, we consider the concrete example of the gravitational potential experienced by a test particle at length scales spanning from the planetary to the cosmological, and determine the wavefunction that would produce it as its quantum potential. In other words, the observed gravitational interaction at all length scales can be generated by an underlying wavefunction. We discuss the implications of our result.
