Gauge is quantum?

Published 5 Jan 2023 in physics.gen-ph and hep-th | (2301.10718v3)

Abstract: An interesting phenomenon is happening in the construction of the Madelung equations from the Schrodinger equation. It seems like the Madelung equations require a rotational invariance symmetry to properly account for quantum vortices, and that Madelung equations are not fully determining the dynamics. The relation between Schrodinger's equations and Madelung equations are often debated with the observation that no clear understanding exists for why the additional rotational discretisation condition is required. Here I explain it as an additional gauge symmetry that speaks in favour of the recent idea that quantum is gauge (Q=G). Indeed, this additional symmetry seems to emerge as a gauge symmetry condition that needs to be incorporated in the Madelung equations in order to properly describe quantum mechanics. In that sense "Madelung Equation + Gauge symmetry = Quantum mechanics". Arguments in favour of understanding the quantum phase as a gauge symmetry component of the solution of Schrodinger's equations are also introduced.
