We present a full-quantum nonperturbative method to study the electron rescattering process in the intense laser-atom interactions. We separate the ionized wave function from the background by solving the time-integral equation. Imposing the incoming boundary condition on the wave function, we reproduce the motion of the rescattering wave packet predicted by the rescattering theory. Our calculated rescattering energies differ significantly from the semiclassical ones. The difference would be substantial for the evaluation of the rescattering induced dynamics such as the molecular dissociation
