Circle-valued phase and the Wallstrom quantization condition in Madelung hydrodynamics

Madelung showed that the Schrodinger equation can be rewritten, away from the zeros of the wave function, as hydrodynamic equations for a density and a velocity potential. Wallstrom [Phys. Rev. A 49, 1613 (1994)] showed that the rewriting is not an equivalence: the hydrodynamic s...
