  The kicked rotor and the kicked top are two paradigms of quantum chaos. The
notions of quantum resonance and the pseudoclassical limit, developed in the
study of the kicked rotor, have revealed an intriguing and unconventional
aspect of classical-quantum correspondence. Here, we show that, by extending
these notions to the kicked top, its rich dynamical behavior can be appreciated
more thoroughly; of special interest is the entanglement entropy. In
particular, the periodic synchronization between systems subject to different
kicking strength can be conveniently understood and elaborated from the
pseudoclassical perspective. The applicability of the suggested general
pseudoclassical theory to the kicked rotor is also discussed.
