  The global-in-time existence of weak solutions to the barotropic compressible
quantum Navier-Stokes equations with damping is proved for large data in three
dimensional space. The model consists of the compressible Navier-Stokes
equations with degenerate viscosity, and a nonlinear third-order differential
operator, with the quantum Bohm potential, and the damping terms. The global
weak solutions to such system is shown by using the Faedo-Galerkin method and
the compactness argument. This system is also a very important approximated
system to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. It will help us to prove
the existence of global weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes
equations with degenerate viscosity in three dimensional space.
