Show more >This paper reviews the physics of quantum disorder in relation with a series of experiments using laser-cooled atoms exposed to " kicks " of a standing wave, realizing a paradigmatic model of quantum chaos, the kicked rotor. This dynamical system can be mapped onto a tight-binding Hamiltonian with pseudo-disorder, formally equivalent to the Anderson model of quantum disorder, with quantum chaos playing the role of disorder. This provides a very good quantum simulator for the Anderson physics.Show less >
