Abstract
We show that the stationary quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation of non-relativistic 1D systems, underlying Bohmian mechanics, takes the classical form with replaced by where . The term essentially coincides with the quantum potential that, like , turns out to be proportional to a curvature arising in projective geometry. In agreement with the recently formulated equivalence principle, these ``quantum transformations'' indicate that the classical and quantum potentials deform space geometry.
