Abstract
The classical-quantum correspondence of a periodically kicked particle in a 1-D infinite potential well is investigated.
Stroboscopic state space portraits are presented for various kick strengths and a classical diffusion study reveals anomalous
behaviour and the presence of both regular islands of stability and accelerator modes. Quantum diffusion is subsequently
studied and the quantum diffusion coefficient is found to mimic the classical diffusion coefficient by rescaling
k. Wigner and Husimi distribution functions are derived and comparisons are made between the classical stroboscopic
state space portraits and these quantum quasi-probability distribution functions.
