Abstract
For the parameters accessible in current experiments, the quantum suppression of classical chaos arises from a reduction in the effective number of coupled states. A simple theory using conventional quantum methods provides a good description of the dynamics near the threshold field for classical chaos and recovers the classical, Fokker-Planck equation for large fields where many states are coupled.Keywords
