Derivation of the Hartree equation for compound Bose gases in the mean field limit

Abstract

We consider mixtures of Bose gases of different species. We prove that in the mean field limit and under suitable conditions on the initial condition a system composed of two Bose species can be effectively described by a system of coupled Hartree equations. Moreover, we derive quantitative bounds on the rates of convergence of the reduced density matrices in Sobolev trace norms. We treat both the non-relativistic case in the presence of an external magnetic field $A\in L^2_{\text{loc}}(\R^3;\R^3)$ and the semi-relativistic case.
