Abstract
Highly regular spatiotemporal or multidimensional patterns in the quantum m echanical probability or classical field intensity distributions can appear due to pair interference between individual eigenmodes of the system, thus forming the so-called intermode traces. These patterns are strongly pronou nced in any anharmonic potential, provided that the traces are multidegener ate; they may occur in many areas of wave physics.
