dc.descriptionWe consider random Schrödinger equations on $\bR^d$ or $\bZ^d$ for $d\ge 3$ with uncorrelated, identically distributed random potential. Denote by $λ$ the coupling constant and $ψ_t$ the solution with initial data $ψ_0$. Suppose that the space and time variables scale as $x\sim λ^{-2 -κ/2}, t \sim λ^{-2 -κ}$ with $0< κ\leq κ_0$, where $κ_0$ is a sufficiently small universal constant. We prove that the expectation value of the Wigner distribution of $ψ_t$, $\bE W_{ψ_{t}} (x, v)$, converges weakly to a solution of a heat equation in the space variable $x$ for arbitrary $L^2$ initial data in the weak coupling limit $λ\to 0$. The diffusion coefficient is uniquely determined by the kinetic energy associated to the momentum $v$.
