Induced osmotic vorticity in the quantum hydrodynamical picture

A nonlinear wave mechanical equation is proposed by inserting an imaginary quantum potential into the Schr"{o}dinger equation. An explicit expression for its solution is given under certain assumptions and it is shown that it entails attenuation related effects as non-unitary evolution, non-exponential quantum decay and entropy production. In the quantum hydrodynamical formulation the existence of circulation effects for the osmotic velocity field is established. Finally, a time-invariant equation for the probability density is derived, analogous to the tensor Lighthill equation in aeroacoustics, which admits both retarded and advanced solutions.
