The ionization of hydrogen atoms by a microwave field is numerically studied, for the first time in a realistic picture, using a fully three-dimensional quantum approach with complete inclusion of the continuum. This provides first evidence for the persistence of dynamical localization in higher-dimensional systems. Comparison to the one-dimensional dynamics as well as to experimental results is given.
