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 …

Using a cold atomic gas exposed to laser pulses—a realization of the chaotic quasiperiodic
kicked rotor with three incommensurate frequencies—we study experimentally and …

Quantum systems with Hofstadter's butterfly spectrum are of fundamental interest to many
research areas. Based upon slight modifications of existing cold-atom experiments, a cold …

We realize experimentally a cold-atom system, the quasiperiodic kicked rotor, equivalent to
the three-dimensional Anderson model of disordered solids where the anisotropy between …

We analyze the dynamics of a quantum kicked rotor (QKR) driven with a binary Fibonacci
sequence of two distinct drive amplitudes. While the dynamics at low drive frequencies is …

In Floquet engineering, we apply a time-periodic modulation to change the effective
behavior of a wave system. In this work, we generalize Floquet engineering to exploit spatial …

We present a very simple model for realizing directed transport with cold atoms in a pair of
periodically flashed optical lattices. The origin of this ratchet effect is explained and its …

We study the effect of a non-Hermitian kicking of a cold atom in an optical ratchet at quantum
resonance. The system exhibits rich dynamics with this non-Hermiticity λ and the kicking …

We present an approach of the kicked-rotor quantum resonances in position space, based
on its analogy with the optical Talbot effect. This leads to a very simple picture of the physical …
