Superparticles in AdS from embedding space
I outline how to quantize the spinning particle, the Brink-Schwarz superparticle and the Berkovits pure spinor superparticle in $AdS_k*S^k$ backgrounds, by embedding the target space in flat space-time. Quantization of the superparticle is a key step towards quantization of the superstring in these backgrounds.
