In atomic nuclei, as in other many-body systems, the classical phase space is
mixed, so ordered and chaotic states generally coexist. In this contribution we
discuss some models, showing the transition from order to chaos. In several
cases a clear correspondence between classical and quantum chaos has been
established. In particular the transition from ordered to chaotic states will
be discussed in the framework of the shell and roto-vibrational models.Comment: Latex, 3 pages. Talk of Luca Salasnich to the International
