Probabilistic whereabouts of the "quantum potential"

Abstract

We review major appearances of the functional expression $\pm \Delta {\rho }^{1/2}/{\rho }^{1/2}$ in the theory of diffusion-type processes and in quantum mechanically supported dynamical scenarios. Attention is paid to various manifestations of "pressure" terms and their meaning(s) in-there.
