%0 Journal Article %T Quantum diffusion for the Anderson model in the scaling limit %A Laszlo Erdos %A Manfred Salmhofer %A Horng-Tzer Yau %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %X We consider random Schr\"odinger equations on $\bZ^d$ for $d\ge 3$ with identically distributed random potential. Denote by $\lambda$ the coupling constant and $\psi_t$ the solution with initial data $\psi_0$. The space and time variables scale as $x\sim \lambda^{-2 -\kappa/2}, t \sim \lambda^{-2 -\kappa}$ with $0< \kappa < \kappa_0(d)$. We prove that, in the limit $\lambda \to 0$, the expectation of the Wigner distribution of $\psi_t$ converges weakly to a solution of a heat equation in the space variable $x$ for arbitrary $L^2$ initial data. The diffusion coefficient is uniquely determined by the kinetic energy associated to the momentum $v$. This work is an extension to the lattice case of our previous result in the continuum \cite{ESYI}, \cite{ESYII}. Due to the non-convexity of the level surfaces of the dispersion relation, the estimates of several Feynman graphs are more involved. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math-ph/0502025v5
