    The Schrödinger equation \[ (1)\quad i(\partial \psi /\partial t)=- \Delta_ x\psi +q(x-y(t))\psi,\quad \psi |_{t=0}=\psi_ 0(x),\quad x\in R^ 3,\quad t\geq 0,\quad \psi_ 0(x)\in L_ 2(R^ 3), \] with the special random potential is investigated. Here q(.) is a measurable function with Im \(q\leq 0\), y(t) is a continuous function y: \(R_+\to R^ 3\) and on \(C(R_+,R^ 3)\) the probabilistic Wiener measure with a diffusion coefficient \(\kappa\) is defined. Thus \(\{\) y(t)\(\}\) is the Wiener process with the trajectories that are in \(R^ 3\) and \(\{\psi\) (t)\(\}\) is the random process with realizations that are placed in \(L_ 2(R^ 3)\). The expectations of the wave operators \(\Omega^{\pm}(y(.))\) and the mathematical expectation of the scattering operator S(y(.)) are investigated. The averaged solution determination is reduced to the semigroup exp(-itH) in the \(L_ 2(R^ 6)\) construction, where \(H=-\Delta_ x+i\kappa \Delta_ y+q(x-y).\) After that the Feynman-Kac formula of the semigroup is used. The averaged dynamics with the evolution operator \(U_{\rho}(t;\Delta)\) is defined by the equality \[ U_{\rho}(t;\Delta)\psi_ 0(x)=\int_{\Delta}dy \exp (-itH)(\psi_ 0(x)\rho (y)). \] Here \(\rho\) (y) is the initial probability density for the process \(\{\) y(.)\(\}\), \(\Delta\) is the Borel set in \(R^ 6\) and \(U_{\rho}(t;\Delta)\psi_ 0(x)\) is the solution of equation (1) that is averaged over measure of the random process \(\{\) y(.)\(\}\) on the set of trajectories for which y(t)\(\in \Delta\).
