Superballistic spreading of wave packets

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We demonstrate for various systems that the variance of a wave packet M(t)tνM(t)\propto t^\nu, can show a {\it superballistic} increase with 2<ν32<\nu\le3, for parametrically large time intervals. A model is constructed which explains this phenomenon and its predictions are verified numerically for various disordered and quasi-periodic systems.
