Abstract
We consider wandering of a nonrelativistic particle in a time-dependent random potential in d spatial dimensions. Its root-mean-square displacement from the initial position increases superdiffusively with time t as for d>1, and as in d=1. Its kinetic energy increases as for d>1, and as in d=1. These scaling behaviors hold for both the classical and the corresponding quantum-mechanical problem in continuous space-time and differ from those of lattice models.
