On kicked quantum systems

The time evolution of a multi-dimensional quantum system which is kicked at random or periodically with a potential is obtained. An interesting aspect of the evolution is that if the operator corresponding to the potential has invariant subspaces (this is characteristic of multi-dimensional problems), the system evolves in these invariant subspaces, i.e., each evolution in the subspaces is independent and there cannot be any mixing between the states of these subspaces.
