A theory of quantum diffusion localization.
The quantum localization of chaotically diffusive classical motion is reviewed, using the kicked rotator as a simple but instructive example. The specific quantum steady state, which results from statistical relaxation in the discrete spectrum, is described in some detail. A new phenomenological theory of quantum dynamical relaxation is presented and compared with the previously existing theory.
