Abstract: We consider random Schr"odinger equations on $$ for $dge3$ with a homogeneous Anderson-Poisson type random potential. Denote by $lambda$ the coupling constant and $ps{i}_t$ the solution with initial data $ps{i}_0$. The space and time variables scale as $xsimlambd{a}^{-2-kappa/2},tsimlambd{a}^{-2-kappa}$ with $0<kappa<kapp{a}_0(d)$. We prove that, in the limit $lambdao0$, the expectation of the Wigner distribution of $ps{i}_t$ converges weakly to the solution of a heat equation in the space variable $x$ for arbitrary $L^2$ initial data. The 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 {it non-ladder} diagrams is smaller than their "naive size" by an extra $lambd{a}^c$ factor {em 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.
