Radiative transport limit for the random Schrödinger equation

We give a detailed mathematical analysis of the radiative transport limit for the average phase space density of solutions of the Schrodinger equation with time-dependent random potential. Our derivation is based on the construction of an approximate martingale for the random Wigner distribution.
