contents We analyze dynamics of quantum supercooled liquids in terms of tagged particle dynamics. Unlike the classical case, uncertainty in the position of a particle in quantum liquid leads to qualitative changes. We demonstrate these effects in the dynamics of the first two moments of displacements, namely, the mean-squared displacement, $\langle Δr^2(t)\rangle$, and $\langle Δr^4(t)\rangle$. Results are presented for a hard sphere liquid using mode-coupling theory (MCT) formulation and simulation on a binary Lennard-Jones liquid. As the quantumness (controlled by the de-Broglie thermal wavelength) is increased, a non-zero value of the moments at zero time leads to significant deviations from the classical behavior in the initial dynamics. Initial displacement shows ballistic behavior $\langle Δr^2(t)\rangle\sim t^2$, but, as a result of large uncertainty in the position, the dynamical effects become weaker with increasing quantumness over this time scale.
