Abstract
Breakdown of quantum-classical correspondence is studied on an experimentally realizable example of a one-dimensional periodically driven system. Two relevant time scales are identified in this system: the short Ehrenfest time and the typically much longer localization time scale It is shown that surprisingly weak modification of the Hamiltonian may eliminate the more dramatic symptoms of localization without effecting the more subtle but ubiquitous and rapid loss of correspondence at
