We give an introduction to some of the numerical aspects in quantum chaos. The classical dynamics of two--dimensional area--preserving maps on the torus is illustrated using the standard map and a perturbed cat map. The quantization of…

We review the recently discovered interplay between chaos and symmetry in the general inhomogeneous solution of many string-related Einstein-matter systems in the vicinity of a cosmological singularity. The…

We report on the numerical simulation of the double-slit experiment, where the initial wave-packet is bounded inside a billiard domain with perfectly reflecting walls. If the shape of the billiard is such that the classical ray dynamics is…

The geometry of a billiard boundary fundamentally governs its dynamics, ranging from integrable to mixed and fully chaotic regimes. Bean- and peanut-shaped billiards have varying curvature with both focusing and defocusing walls without a…

This chapter provides an overview of chaotic billiard lasers as a prominent branch of quantum chaos. These lasers offer an ideal experimental platform for demonstrating the principles of quantum chaos within a physical system. We begin by…

We study the dielectric annular billiard as a quantum chaotic model of a micro-optical resonator. It differs from conventional billiards with hard-wall boundary conditions in that it is partially open and composed of two dielectric media…

We report the first large-scale statistical study of very high-lying eigenmodes (quantum states) of the mushroom billiard proposed by L. Bunimovich in this journal, vol. 11, 802 (2001). The phase space of this mixed system is unusual in…

In this paper, we show that two-dimensional billiards with point interactions inside exhibit a chaotic nature in the microscopic world, although their classical counterpart is non-chaotic. After deriving the transition matrix of the system…

We study analytically and numerically the classical diffusive process which takes place in a chaotic billiard. This allows to estimate the conditions under which the statistical properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions can be described…

A formalism is presented in which quantum particle dynamics can be developed on its own rather than `quantization' of an underlying classical theory. It is proposed that the unification of probability and dynamics should be considered as…

We study the quantum mechanics of a billiard (Robnik 1983) in the regime of mixed-type classical phase space (the shape parameter \lambda=0.15) at very high-lying eigenstates, starting at about 1.000.000th eigenstate and including the…

Quantum chaos manifests itself also in algorithmical complexity of methods, including the numerical ones, in solving the Schr\"odinger equation. In this contribution we address the problem of calculating the eigenenergies and the…

Using the supersymmetry technique, we calculate the joint distribution of local densities of electron wavefunctions in two coupled disordered or chaotic quantum billiards. We find novel spatial correlations that are absent in a single…

We consider the radially vibrating spherical quantum billiard as a representative example of vibrating quantum billiards. We derive necessary conditions for quantum chaos in $d$-term superposition states. These conditions are symmetry…

We analyse the classical and quantum behaviour of a particle trapped in a diamond shaped billiard. We defined this billiard as a half stadium connected with a triangular billiard. A parameter $\xi$ which gradually change the shape of the…
