Population dynamics of highly excited states of a hydrogen atom under the action of an ultra-short intense laser pulse is studied by means of direct numerical solution of Schr¨ edinger equation in the finite basis of eigenstates of the discrete and continuous energy spectrum. The essential role of continuous spectrum states is demonstrated. Formation of localized wave packets of Rydberg states is discussed.
