Fluctuations, gravity, and the quantum potential

We show how the quantum potential arises in various ways and trace its connection to quantum fluctuations and Fisher information along with its realization in terms of Weyl curvature. It is a quantization factor for certain classical systems as well as an expression for quantum matter in gravity theories of Weyl-Dirac type. We extract theories and examples from the literature, providing connections and interpretations, and make a few new observations.
