Radiative Transport Limit for the Random Schrödinger Equation with Long-Range Correlations
arXiv:1110.3301
Abstract
In this paper we study the asymptotic phase space energy distribution of solution of the Schrödinger equation with a time-dependent random potential. The random potential is assumed to be with slowly decaying correlations. We show that the Wigner transform of a solution of the random Schrödinger equation converges in probability to the solution of a radiative transfer equation. Moreover, we show that this radiative transfer equation with long-range coupling has a regularizing effect on its solutions. Finally, we give an approximation of this equation in term of a fractional Laplacian. The derivations of these results are based on an asymptotic analysis using perturbed-test-functions, martingale techniques, and probabilistic representations.
