Superballistic spreading of wave packets.
We demonstrate for various systems that the variance of a wave packet M(t) proportional to t(nu), can show a superballistic increase with 2 < nu < or = 3, for parametrically large time intervals. A model is constructed that explains this phenomenon and its predictions are verified numerically for various disordered and quasiperiodic systems.
