      A classical dynamics is uniquely ergodic if it has precisely one normalized invariant measure. Quantum unique ergodicity means that for all eigenfunctions of the unitary dynamical operator the mean values of quantum observables obtained by quantization of smooth functions converge in the semiclassical limit to phase-space averages of these functions. The author proves quantum unique ergodicity for a class of quantized ergodic translations on the torus perturbed by a smooth function and for different types of quantization. Rates of convergence of the semiclassical limit are also estimated. The results support the hypothesis that classical unique ergodicity implies quantum one.
