The 75th anniversary of Turing's seminal paper and his centennial year anniversary occur in 2011 and 2012, respectively. It is natural to review and assess Turing's contributions in diverse fields in the light of new developments that his…
The idea to describe quantum systems within a hydrodynamic framework (quantum hydrodynamics, QHD) goes back to Madelung and Bohm. While such a description is formally exact for a single particle, more recently the concept has been applied…
