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 psit the solution with initial data psi0. The space and time variables scale as xsimlambda−2−kappa/2,tsimlambda−2−kappa with 0<kappa<kappa0(d). We prove that, in the limit lambdao0, the expectation of the Wigner distribution of psit converges weakly to the solution of a heat equation in the space variable x for arbitrary L2 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 lambdac 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.


The paper is devoted to quantum diffusion of the random Schrödinger evalution in the scaling limit. It is proved that the limiting dynamics of the Schrödinger evolution in a random potential under some scaling is governed by a heat equation. This required to control the Schrödinger dynamics up to a time scale \(\lambda^{-2-k}\), \(k>0\). The main tool of the proof is to use the Duhamel expansion to decompose the wave function into elementary wave functions characterized by their collision histories.
