Localization for the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in a locally periodic medium

Abstract

We study the homogenization of a Schr\"{o}dinger equation in a locally periodic medium. For the time and space scaling of semi-classical analysis we consider well-prepared initial data that are concentrated near a stationary point (with respect to both space and phase) of the energy, i.e. the Bloch cell eigenvalue. We show that there exists a localized solution which is asymptotically given as the product of a Bloch wave and of the solution of an homogenized Schr\"{o}dinger equation with quadratic potential.
