Abstract
Experiments have shown that the microwave ionization probability of a highly excited almost monodimensional hydrogen atom subjected to a microwave pulse sometimes grows in steps when the peak electric field of the pulse is increased. Classical pulsed simulations display the same steps, which have been traced to phase-space metamorphoses. Quantum numerical calculations again exhibit the same ionization steps. I show that the time-sequence of two level interactions, responsible for the observed steps in the quantum picture, is strictly related to the classical phase space structures generated by the above mentioned metamorphoses.
