Exponential mixing for finite-dimensional approximations of the Schr\"odinger equation with multiplicative noise

Abstract

We study the ergodicity of finite-dimensional approximations of the Schr\"odinger equation. The system is driven by a multiplicative scalar noise. Under general assumptions over the distribution of the noise, we show that the system has a unique stationary measure $\mu$ on the unit sphere $S$ in $\C^n$, and $\mu$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Riemannian volume on $S$. Moreover, for any initial condition in $S$, the solution converges exponentially fast to the measure $\mu$ in the variational norm.
