ANDERSON Localization in the
Quantum Kicked Rotor

Following a short exposition of the theory of the kicked rotor in classical and quantum mechanics in subsection 5.1.1 and a survey of ANDERSON's theory of localization in subsection 5.1.2, I outline in subsection 5.1.3 how localization phenomena in the quantum kicked rotor can be explained by combining these two theories.
