Abstract: We study the behavior of solutions to a Schr{"o}dinger equation with large, rapidly oscillating, mean zero, random potential with Gaussian distribution. We show that in high dimension $d>mathfrakm$, where $mathfrakm$ is the order of the spatial pseudo-differential operator in the Schr{"o}dinger equation (with $mathfrakm=2$ for the standard Laplace operator), the solution converges in the $L^2$ sense uniformly in time over finite intervals to the solution of a deterministic Schr{"o}dinger equation as the correlation length $varepsilon$ tends to 0. This generalizes to long times the convergence results obtained for short times and for the heat equation. The result is based on a careful decomposition of multiple scattering contributions. In dimension $d<mathfrakm$, the random solution converges to the solution of a stochastic partial differential equation.
