Abstract

We consider a system of N bosons interacting through a singular two-body potential scaling with N and having the form $N^{3 β - 1} V (N^{β} x)$ , for an arbitrary parameter $β \in (0, 1)$ . We provide a norm-approximation for the many-body evolution of initial data exhibiting Bose–Einstein condensation in terms of a cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the condensate wave function and of a unitary Fock space evolution with a generator quadratic in creation and annihilation operators for the fluctuations.
