Abstract: In this paper, we study the decoherence of a wave described by the solution to a Schroedinger equation with a time-dependent random potential. The random potential is assumed to have slowly decaying correlations. The main tool to analyze the decoherence behaviors is a properly rescaled Wigner transform of the solution of the random Schroedinger equation. We exhibit anomalous wave decoherence effects at different propagation scales.


The author considers the solution \(\phi (t/\epsilon^s,\mathbf{x}/\epsilon^s)\) of the non-stationary Schrödinger equation with the time-dependent random potential with long correlations \(V(t/\epsilon^{\gamma},\mathbf{x})\), where \(s\) and \(\gamma\) are the parameters of the propagation scale and time correlation, correspondingly. The main result obtained with the help of the Wigner transform is based on the fact that on the propagation scales \(\epsilon^s\) with \((2\kappa^{\gamma})^{-1}<s<1\) (where \(\kappa\) is a function of the exponentials in the power-law scaled moment and autocorrelation function) the random phase modulation oscillates very fast that breaks the wave coherence.
