Abstract

We analyze the mean-field limit of a stochastic Schr{\"o}dinger equation arising in quantum optimal control and mean-field games, where N interacting particles undergo continuous indirect measurement. For the open quantum system described by Belavkin's filtering equation, we derive a mean-field approximation under minimal assumptions, extending prior results limited to bounded operators and finitedimensional settings. By establishing global well-posedness via fixed-point methods-avoiding measure-change techniques-we obtain higher regularity solutions. Furthermore, we prove rigorous convergence to the mean-field limit in an infinitedimensional framework. Our work provides the first derivation of such limits for wave functions in L2(Rd)L^2 (R^d), with implications for simulating and controlling large quantum systems.
