Title: On the quantum dynamics of an electron in a random medium


Abstract:

In this talk, some recent results are surveyed which concern the
long-time dynamics of a quantum mechanical electron in a weakly
disordered random medium. Especially, it is discussed how a
semiclassical Boltzmann dynamics emerges from a kinetic scaling
limit of the random Schroedinger dynamics.
