Local existence and WKB approximation of solutions to Schr\"odinger-Poisson system in the two-dimensional whole space

We consider the Schr\"odinger-Poisson system in the two-dimensional whole space. A new formula of solutions to the Poisson equation is used. Although the potential term solving the Poisson equation may grow at the spatial infinity, we show the unique existence of a time-local solution for data in the Sobolev spaces by an analysis of a quantum hydrodynamical system via a modified Madelung transform. This method has been used to justify the WKB approximation of solutions to several classes of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in the semiclassical limit.
