  This paper reviews the physics of quantum disorder in relation with a series
of experiments using laser-cooled atoms exposed to "kicks" of a standing wave,
realizing a paradigmatic model of quantum chaos, the kicked rotor. This
dynamical system can be mapped onto a tight-binding Hamiltonian with
pseudo-disorder, formally equivalent to the Anderson model of quantum disorder,
with quantum chaos playing the role of disorder. This provides a very good
quantum simulator for the Anderson physics.
