description: Chaotic behavior and its universality have been identified only recently in a number of atomic and molecular systems with a few degrees of freedom. This book covers the study of irregular behavior in few-body systems, with emphasis on the aspects of atomic physics. Areas studied include the atom in a magnetic field, microwave ionization of Rydberg atoms and quasi-Wagner crystals in ion traps, all of which have become the experimental and theoretical prototypes for studying quantum chaos. The contributors to this volume provide thought-provoking discussions of recent developments, trends and controversies in this exciting field.
