In the talk some problems related with the famous Chernoff square root of n - lemma in the theory of approximation of some semi-groups of operators will be discussed. We present some optimal bounds in these approximations (one of them is Euler approximation) and two new classes of operators, generalizing sectorial and quasi-sectorial operators will be introduced. The talk is based on two papers [V. Bentkus and V. Paulauskas, Letters in Math. Physics, 68, (2004), 131-138] and [V. Paulauskas, J. Functional Anal., 262, (2012), 2074-2099]
