Abstract
A tight-binding representation of the kicked Harper model is used to obtain an integrable semiclassical Hamiltonian consisting of "quantized" bands of orbits. New bands appear when renormalized Harper parameters exceed integer multiples of pi/2. Orbits with frequencies commensurate with the kicking frequency are shown to correlate with classical accelerator modes in the original kicked problem. Signatures of this superdiffusive and, in our view, resonant transport are seen in both classical and quantum behavior. An important feature of our analysis is the emergence of a natural scaling relating classical and quantum couplings which is necessary for establishing correspondence.
