contents We study the propagation of coherent states in self-interacting bosonic quantum field theories in the semi-classical (mean-field) regime. Relying on Hepp's method and a detailed analysis of the associated classical and quantum field dynamics, non-linear and linear respectively, we construct an asymptotic expansion of arbitrary order for the quantum evolution of coherent states. The results are first established for the spatially cutoff $P(ϕ)_2$ model, under standard assumptions ensuring essential self-adjointness of the Hamiltonian and well-posedness of the classical flow, and are then extended to a class of non-polynomial analytic interactions. This work refines and generalizes earlier results, which identified only the leading-order term of the expansion.
