On page 1752, Chia‐Chun Chou derives a nonlinear quantum‐classical transition equation to provide a continuous description of the quantum‐classical transition for physical systems in complex space. Based on the transition equation, the complex transition trajectory formalism is developed to analyze the quantum‐classical transition of physical systems from a hydrodynamic perspective. This formalism establishes the connection between quantum and classical trajectories in complex space. This study provides an alternative way to study the quantum‐classical correspondence.
