Writing the wavefunction in modulus and dimensionless quantum phase gives a probability continuity equation and a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a quantum potential:
The phase equations hold locally away from wavefunction nodes. They follow by equating real and imaginary parts of the Time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
