We consider the evolution of a tight binding wave packet propagating in a fluctuating potential. If the fluctuations stem from a stationary Markov process satisfying certain technical criteria, we show that the square amplitude of the wave packet, after diffusive rescaling, converges to a superposition of solutions of a heat equation.
