On intermediate time scales for anharmonic potentials Ehrenfest’stheorem quite generally breaks down. However, on still longer time scales there is, in many cases of interest, an almost complete revival of the wavepacket and a second Ehrenfest epoch. In between these full revivals are an infinite number of fractional revivals that collectively have an interesting mathematical structure.

Reconciling Bohm and Ehrenfest
• The LHS is the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation for complex S, therefore complex x and p (complex trajectories).
• The RHS is the quantum potential which is now complex.
