Abstract
The fluid‐dynamical form of the Schrödinger equations is studied to examine the nature of the quantum forces arising from the quantum potential of Madelung and Bohm. It is found that they are in the form of a stress tensor having diagonal and nondiagonal components. Future studies of these quantum stress tensors in a many‐body system may shed some light on the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the generation of vorticity in many nuclear systems.Keywords
