Abstract
The interface between nonlinear dynamics and quantum mechanics leads to qualitatively new physical phenomena, and has been the subject of much work in recent years. One of the key predictions in this area is the phenomenon of dynamical localization, a quantum suppression of diffusion in a classically chaotic regime. Previous work in our group centered on the study of dynamical localization, using cold atoms in a time-dependent standing wave of light, and established atom optics as a new testing ground for this field.1,2
