The arrest of Langmuir-wave collapse by quantum effects, first addressed by Haas and Shukla [Phys. Rev. E 79, 066402 (2009)] using a Rayleigh-Ritz trial-function method is revisited, using rigorous estimates and systematic asymptotic expansions. The absence of blow up for the so-called quantum Zakharov equations is proved in two and three dimensions, whatever the strength of the quantum effects. The time-periodic behavior of the solution for initial conditions slightly in excess of the singularity threshold for the classical problem is established for various settings in two space dimensions. The difficulty of developing a consistent perturbative approach in three dimensions is also discussed, and a semi-phenomenological model is suggested for this case.
