Coherent Wave Propagation in Multi-Mode systems with Correlated Noise

Abstract
Imperfections in multimode systems lead to mode-mixing and interferences between propagating modes. Such disorder is typically characterized by a finite correlation time (in quantum evolution) or correlation length (in paraxial evolution). We show that the long-scale dynamics of an initial excitation that spread in mode space can be tailored by the coherent dynamics on short-scale. In particular we unveil a universal crossover from exponential to power-law ballistic-like decay of the initial mode. Our results have applications to various wave physics frameworks, ranging from multimode fiber optics to quantum dots and quantum biology.
