  "abstract": "Coherent wave propagation in random media results in a characteristic speckle pattern, with spatial intensity correlations with short-range and long-range behavior. Here, we show how the speckle correlation function can be obtained from a ray picture for two representative geometries: A chaotic cavity and a random waveguide. Our calculation allows us to study the crossover between a \"ray limit\" and a \"wave limit\", in which the Ehrenfest time $\\tau_E$ is larger or smaller than the typical transmission time $\\tau_D$, respectively. Remarkably, long-range speckle correlations persist in the ray limit $\\tau_E \\gg \\tau_D$.",
