Abstract

We consider the dynamics of a large quantum system of $N$ identical bosons in $3\mathrm{D}$ interacting via a two-body potential of the form $N^{3 \beta - 1} w(N^{\beta} (x - y))$. For fixed $0 \leq \beta \lt 1/3$ and large $N$, we obtain a norm approximation to the many-body evolution in the $N$-particle Hilbert space. The leading order behaviour of the dynamics is determined by Hartree theory while the second order is given by Bogoliubov theory.
