The mean-field limit of the Schrödinger-Lohe model and emergent dynamics

Abstract: The Schrödinger-Lohe (SL) model is a coupled system of nonlinear Schrödinger equations describing the temporal-spatial evolution of the component wave functions, and it corresponds to the infinite-dimensional counterpart of the Lohe matrix model for quantum synchronization. In this paper, we study a rigorous mean-field limit of the SL model and provide a quantitative estimate on the fluctuations between one-marginal distribution and one particle distribution in 2-Wasserstein distance. For the derived kinetic SL equation, we present sufficient conditions leading to the complete and practical synchronizations.
