Backscattering echo of correlated wave packets

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2014-05-21 v1

Abstract

We present an analytical theory describing a novel phenomenon of enhanced backscattering corresponding to the spatial refocussing of a spread-out correlated wave packet due to a brief interaction with a disordered potential. Our theory is validated by numerical simulations and explains the physics observed in recent experiments on cold atom transport in disorder.
