When a lithium atom in a Rydberg state ( n~80) is exposed to a short, intense microwave pulse we find that substantial population is left in extremely highly excited states ( $n>120$), in spite of the fact that the microwave field amplitude is more than 40 times larger than required to classically ionize these states.
