Multiple scattering of light by resonant vapor is characterized by L\'evy-type superdiffusion with a single-step size distribution $p(x)\propto 1/x^{1+\alpha}$. We investigate L\'evy flight of light in a hot rubidium vapor…

Continuous time random walks and Langevin equations are two classes of stochastic models for describing the dynamics of particles in the natural world. While some of the processes can be conveniently characterized by both of them, more…
