Abstract
In this paper a thermodynamical derivation of the quantum potential is pro- posed. Within the framework of Bohmian mechanics we show how the quantum potential can be derived, by adding an additional informational degree of freedom to the ordinary degrees of freedom of a physical system. Such a derivation uses the First Law of thermodynamics for this additional degree of freedom and basic equilibrium thermodynamics methods. By doing that, one may associate a temper- ature to each wave function. Features and behavior of this temperature in different situations is studied.
