The impact of a fast decaying component of mass-energy, that decreases faster than radiation with the increase of the scale factor, on the evolution of the universe is studied using a hydrodynamic approach. Proceeding from the Hamiltonian formalism, the hydrodynamic-like equations for the velocity and acceleration of the expansion of the universe as a function of conformal time are obtained. The influence of a fast decaying component on the dynamics of the expansion of the universe is determined by the sign of its contribution to the total energy density of the system. The effects of this component are illustrated by figures., Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures

An analogy between non-relativistic quantum mechanics in the Madelung formulation and quantum geometrodynamics in the case of the maximally symmetric space is drawn. The equations equivalent to the continuity equation and the hydrodynamic Euler equation describing the evolution of the velocity introduced for the case of hypothetical fluid flow characterizing the cosmological system are obtained. It is shown that the perfect nature of the fluid is broken by the quantum Bohm potential. The quantum potential is calculated in semi-classical approximation for different forces acting in the system both in standard quantum mechanics and in minisuperspace model of quantum geometrodynamics. The explicit dependences of the cosmic scale factor on the conformal time, which take into account the quantum additive, are found for empty space with spatial curvature and for a spatially flat universe with dust and radiation., Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures

The Hubble tension is analyzed in the framework of quantum cosmological approach. It is found that there arises a new summand in the expression for the total energy density stipulated by the quantum Bohm potential. This additional energy density acts similarly to a stiff matter component, modifying the expansion history of the early universe and decaying with scale factor $a$ as $a^{-6}$, faster than radiation, in late universe. Taking account of this matter-energy component of quantum nature can, in principle, eliminate a discrepancy between the direct late time model-independent measurements of the Hubble constant and its indirect model dependent estimates. The considered model allows one to extend the standard cosmology to quantum sector., Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, v.2: added a new section on numerical estimates, substantially updated the introduction and other sections, significantly expanded the list of references, revised the abstract, v.3: added a new section on stiff matter, expanded the list of references
