Abstract
We study analytically and numerically the classical diffusive process which takes place in a chaotic billiard. This allows one to estimate t he conditions under which the statistical properties of eigenvalues an d eigenfunctions can be described by random matrix theory. in particul ar, the phenomenon of quantum dynamical localization should be observa ble in real experiments.
