Hydrodynamic quantum analogs

Hydrodynamic quantum analogs are special types of systems that imitate the behavior of quantum particles. To understand this, we need to think about how regular objects like balls and cars can move around. In physics, we talk about things having momentum, which is a measure of how fast and in what direction something is moving. In the quantum world, particles can have a weird kind of momentum called quantum momentum. Hydrodynamic quantum analogs are systems where something like water can move in a way that copies the quantum momentum of particles. We can study the water flow to try to figure out how quantum particles might move, giving us clues about how the quantum world works.
