Abstract

Characteristic structures such as canals and ridges --intermode traces-- emerge in the spacetime representation of the probability distribution of a particle in a one-dimensional box. We show that the corresponding propagator already contains these structures. We relate their visibility to the factorization property of the initial wave packet.
