Stochastic dynamics in periodic potentials
This thesis describes the dynamics of both electrons and atoms in periodic potentials. In particular, it explores how such potentials can be used to realise a new type of quantum chaos in which the effective classical Hamiltonian originates from the intrinsically quantum nature of energy bands.
