{"abstract":[{"text":"We consider random Schrödinger equations on R d for d ≽ 3 with a homogeneous Anderson–Poisson type random potential. Denote by λ the coupling constant and ψt the solution with initial data ψ0 . The space and time variables scale as x∼λ−2−ϰ/2 and t∼λ−2−ϰ with 0<ϰ<ϰ0(d) . We prove that, in the limit λ → 0, the expectation of the Wigner distribution of ψt converges weakly to the solution of a heat equation in the space variable x for arbitrary L 2 initial data.\nThe proof is based on analyzing the phase cancellations of multiple scatterings on the random potential by expanding the propagator into a sum of Feynman graphs. In this paper we consider the non-recollision graphs and prove that the amplitude of the non-ladder diagrams is smaller than their “naive size” by an extra λ c factor per non-(anti)ladder vertex for some c > 0. This is the first rigorous result showing that the improvement over the naive estimates on the Feynman graphs grows as a power of the small parameter with the exponent depending linearly on the number of vertices. This estimate allows us to prove the convergence of the perturbation series.\n","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","publication":"Acta Mathematica","issue":"2","quality_controlled":0,"title":"Quantum diffusion of the random Schrödinger evolution in the scaling limit","_id":"2753","author":[{"last_name":"Erdös","id":"4DBD5372-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"László","full_name":"László Erdös","orcid":"0000-0001-5366-9603"},{"last_name":"Salmhofer","first_name":"Manfred","full_name":"Salmhofer, Manfred"},{"last_name":"Yau","first_name":"Horng","full_name":"Yau, Horng-Tzer"}],"doi":"10.1007/s11511-008-0027-2","intvolume":" 200","extern":1,"type":"journal_article","publist_id":"4139","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:59:28Z","volume":200,"date_published":"2008-07-01T00:00:00Z","day":"01","year":"2008","status":"public","publisher":"Springer","page":"211 - 277","month":"07","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:59:25Z","citation":{"ieee":"L.
