Linear Boltzmann equation as the weak coupling limit of a random Schrödinger equation

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We study the time evolution of a quantum particle in a Gaussian random environment. 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.
