Abstract
Ultracold atoms in a pulsed standing wave of light constitute an experimental realization of the δ-kicked rotor, a paradigm for classic and quantum chaos. One of the key predictions in this system is the phenomenon of dynamic localization, a quantum suppression of diffusion in a classically chaotic regime. Previous work by our group centered on the study of dynamic localization with ultracold sodium atoms and established atom optics as a new testing ground for this field.1-3
