We show that a quantized ideal fluid will generally exhibit a small but non-zero viscosity due to the backreaction of quantum soundwaves on the background. We use an effective field theory expansion to estimate this viscosity to first order in perturbation theory. We discuss our results, and whether this estimate can be used to obtain a more model-independent estimate of the "quantum bound" on the viscosity of physical systems

    For Gaussian initial states, vortex modes contribute a finite, non-local stress response in a quantum perfect fluid, calculable without adding symmetry-breaking regulators.
