We show that in the weak coupling limit the Wigner distribution of the wave function converges to a solution of a linear Boltzmann equation globally in time. The Boltzmann collision kernel is given by the Born approximation of the quantum differential scattering cross section.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics","publication_status":"published","extern":"1","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2023-05-03T09:09:04Z","volume":53,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0010-3640"]},"external_id":{"arxiv":["math-ph/9901020"]},"status":"public","page":"667 - 735","user_id":"ea97e931-d5af-11eb-85d4-e6957dddbf17","acknowledgement":"Partially supported by U.S. National Science Foundation grants DMS-9403462, 9703752.
