In the 1920's, Madelung noticed that if the complex Schroedinger wavefunction is expressed in polar form, then its modulus squared and the gradient of its phase may be interpreted as the hydrodynamic density and velocity, respectively, of a…

After performing the Madelung transformation, the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is transformed into a hydrodynamic equation akin to the compressible Euler equations with a certain dissipation. In this short note, we construct…
