We determine the propagation properties of a quantum particle in a d-dimensional lattice with hopping disorder, delta-correlated in time. The system is delocalized: the averaged transition probability shows a diffusive behavior. Then,…

Like a free particle, the initial growth of a broad (relative to lattice spacing) wavepacket placed on an ordered lattice is slow (zero initial slope) and becomes linear in $t$ at long time. On a disordered lattice, the growth is inhibited…
