Abstract
We consider the evolution of waves governed by a periodically perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The system is a nonlinear generalization of the quantum kicked rotator. We study the soliton chaotic motion, its destruction and reversibility properties. It is found that nonlinearity does not destroy the quantum suppression of chaotic diffusion.
