Abstract

Together with the hydrogen atom in a strong magnetic field the hydrogen atom in a strong microwave field is one of the best studied atomic physics examples of a quantum Hamiltonian system chaotic in its classical limit. The chaos link is strong. Excitation, ionization and dynamical localization are most easily understood in the framework of chaos. This paper focusses on dynamical localization in driven hydrogen Rydberg atoms and suggests to study the effect of symmetry and symmetry breaking on the dynamical localization length in strongly driven Rydberg atoms.
