Mean-Field- and Classical Limit of Many-Body Schrödinger Dynamics for Bosons

We present a new proof of the convergence of the N −particle Schrödinger dynamics for bosons towards the dynamics generated by the Hartree equation in the mean-field limit. For a restricted class of two-body interactions, we obtain convergence estimates uniform in \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\hbar}$$\end{document} , up to an exponentially small remainder.
