Homogenization of the Schroedinger equation with large, random potential

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the behavior of solutions to a Schr{ö}dinger equation with large, rapidly oscillating, mean zero, random potential with Gaussian distribution. We show that in high dimension d>md>\mathfrak{m}, where m\mathfrak{m} is the order of the spatial pseudo-differential operator in the Schr{ö}dinger equation (with m=2\mathfrak{m}=2 for the standard Laplace operator), the solution converges in the L2L^2 sense uniformly in time over finite intervals to the solution of a deterministic Schr{ö}dinger equation as the correlation length ε\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<md<\mathfrak{m}, the random solution converges to the solution of a stochastic partial differential equation.
