We also note that, to compute the mobility from the Hamiltonian in eq 5, one also need some additional information about the scattering probability of a carrier in a state k of the polaronic band. In the dynamic localization regime, the V(t) (eq 1) contains all the information required to compute the mobility; i.e., V(t) can be used to determine the diffusion of the localized carrier.
