Abstract

We give a purification and fidelity formulation of the projection method for mixed Hartree data. For the mean-field evolution of NN-particle density matrices, we prove quantitative propagation of chaos for all fixed marginals, first in squared Uhlmann fidelity and then in trace norm via the Fuchs--van de Graaf inequality. The argument applies a rank-one Pickl-type counting estimate in a purified one-particle space and uses monotonicity of fidelity under partial trace to return to the physical variables. The result allows singular interactions satisfying a projected-square bound, including L2rL^{2r} interactions and the Coulomb potential.
