Abstract

We consider the time evolution of NN bosons in the mean field regime for factorized initial data. In the limit of large NN, the many body evolution can be approximated by the non-linear Hartree equation. In this paper we are interested in the fluctuations around the Hartree dynamics. We choose kk self-adjoint one-particle operators O1,,OkO_1, \dots, O_k on L2(R3)L^2 (\R^3), and we average their action over the NN-particles. We show that, for every fixed tRt \in \R, expectations of products of functions of the averaged observables approach, as NN \to \infty, expectations with respect to a complex Gaussian measure, whose covariance matrix can be expressed in terms of a Bogoliubov transformation describing the dynamics of quantum fluctuations around the mean field Hartree evolution. If the operators O1,,OkO_1, \dots, O_k commute, the Gaussian measure is real and positive, and we recover a "classical" multivariate central limit theorem. All our results give explicit bounds on the rate of the convergence (we obtain therefore Berry-Ess{\'e}en type central limit theorems).
