Abstract

We consider the evolution of quasi-free states describing NN fermions in the mean field limit, as governed by the nonlinear Hartree equation. In the limit of large NN, we study the convergence towards the classical Vlasov equation. For a class of regular interaction potentials, we establish precise bounds on the rate of convergence.
