Abstract
Recent advances in experimental technique have enabled the study of atoms subject to impulsive perturbations of duration Tp << Tn, where Tn is the classical electron orbital period. Such “kicked” atoms provide new opportunities for the control and manipulation of atomic wavefunctions and for the investigation of non-linear dynamics in Hamiltonian systems. Here we discuss the rich variety of dynamical behaviors that are observed and their physical origins, together with several possible avenues for future research.
