Abstract
Investigating the behavior of noninteracting fermions subjected to local dephasing, we reveal that quasi-particle dephasing can induce superdiffusive transport. This superdiffusion arises from nodal points within the momentum distribution of local dephasing quasi-particles, leading to asymptotic long-lived modes. By studying the dynamics of the Wigner function, we rigorously elucidate how the dynamics of these enduring modes give rise to Levy walk processes, a renowned mechanism underlying superdiffusion phenomena. Our research demonstrates the controllability of dynamical scaling exponents by selecting quasi-particles and extends its applicability to higher dimensions, underlining the pervasive nature of superdiffusion in dephasing models.

List of changes
1. We have now included citations mentioned by reviewers.
2. We change the claim (line 93-94) that "the scaling function does not conform to the KPZ universality class due to a ballistic wavefront." to "the scaling function does not conform to the KPZ universality class.".
3. We replace the word "hydrodynamics" with "Wigner function dynamics" throughout the revised manuscript to avoid any confusion.
4. We have added comments in the main text (now in line 117) to clarify the point as reviewer suggested.
