Abstract

We discuss several features of the classical quantum potential appearing in Covariant Quantum Mechanics. In particular, we compare the “observed potential” A [ K , G , o ] of the joined spacetime connection K with the potential A ↑ of the cosymplectic phase 2-form Ω [ K , G ] and with the potential A ↑ of the upper quantum connection Ч ↑ . Moreover, we discuss the distinguished observer o [ Ψ ] and the distinguished timelike potential A [ Ψ ] associated with a non-vanishing quantum section Ψ. We show that the above objects play a natural role in the context of the kinetic quantum momentum Q [ Ψ ] , of the quantum probability current J [ Ψ ] , of the Schrödinger operator S [ Ψ ] and of the classical fluid associated with a non-vanishing quantum section Ψ.
