The quintic NLS as the mean field limit of a Boson gas with three-body interactions

TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that in the limit of infinite particle number, the BBGKY hierarchy of $k$-particle marginals converges to a limiting (Gross-Pitaevskii) hierarchy for which they proved existence and uniqueness of solutions.
Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of a boson gas with three-body interactions in dimensions $d=1,2$. We prove that in the limit of infinite particle number, the BBGKY hierarchy of $k$-particle marginals converges to a limiting (Gross-Pitaevskii (GP)) hierarchy for which we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions. Factorized solutions of the GP hierarchy are shown to be determined by solutions of a quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Our proof is based on, and extends, methods of Erdos-Schlein-Yau, Klainerman-Machedon, and Kirkpatrick-Schlein-Staffilani.

Focusing Quantum Many-body Dynamics: The Rigorous Derivation of the 1D Focusing Cubic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of N bosons in 1D were considered and the authors derived rigorously the 1D focusing cubic NLS with a quadratic trap as the \(N \rightarrow \infty}\) limit of the N-body dynamic and hence justify the mean field limit and prove the propagation of chaos for the focusing quantum many-body system.

Kinetic equations from Hamiltonian dynamics: Markovian limits

TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of classical as well as quantum-mechanical models for which kinetic equations can be derived rigorously are discussed and the probabilistic nature of the problem is emphasized: the approximation of the microscopic dynamics by either a kinetic or a hydrodynamic equation can be understood as the approximate approximation of a non-Markovian stochastic process by a Markovian process.

The classical limit for quantum mechanical correlation functions

TL;DR: For quantum systems of finitely many particles as well as for boson quantum field theories, the classical limit of the expectation values of products of Weyl operators, translated in time by the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian and taken in coherent states centered inx-andp-space around −1/2 (coordinates of a point in classical phase space) are shown to become the exponentials of coordinate functions of the classical orbit in phase space.
