The paper improves approximation theory based on the Trotter–Kato product formulae. For self-adjoint \(C_0\)-semigroups we develop a lifting of the strongly convergent Chernoff approximation (or product) formula to convergence in the operator-norm topology. This allows to obtain optimal estimate for the rate of operator-norm convergence of Trotter–Kato product formulae for Kato functions from the class \(K_2\).
