Phase mixing for the Hartree equation and Landau damping in the semiclassical limit
The asymptotic behaviour of the Hartree equation is studied near translation-invariant steady states. For short-range interaction kernels satisfying a uniform Penrose stability condition, including the screened Coulomb interaction, phase-mixing estimates in finite regularity are established. These demonstrate density decay and scattering of solutions in weighted quantum Sobolev spaces, providing a quantum analogue of Landau damping in classical plasma physics. The results hold uniformly in the semiclassical limit, thereby bridging the quantum and classical regimes.
