The Madelung–Bohm approach to Quantum Mechanics is used to extend the one-dimensional case to solve the Schrödinger equation by defining potentials for the wavefunctions in two and three dimensions. The relevance of these results to solving the phase retrieval problem (PRP) is stressed. In particular, the one-dimensional problem is solved completely and significant progress is made toward the solution of the PRP in two and three dimensions. Examples are presented.
