Title Quantum hydrodynamics near caustics
Alternative Title Κβαντική υδροδυναμική κοντά σε καυστικές

Abstract We consider some basic features of quantum hydrodynamics near simple fold and cusp caustics. We show that the initial value problem for the Bohmian trajectories is not well posed, since the quantum potential and the derivatives of the phase of the wave function are too singular. These observations imply, that in the classical limit, the Bohmian trajectories do not converge to the geometric rays because caustics onset at t = 0+.
