The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics of a square billiard with a non-standard reflection law such that the angle of reflection of the particle is a linear contraction of the angle of incidence. We present numerical and…
The boundary of the lemon billiards is defined by the intersection of two circles of equal unit radius with the distance 2B between their centers, as introduced by Heller and Tomsovic in Phys. Today 46 38 (1993). We study two classical and…
Chaotic properties of symmetrical two-dimensional stadium-like billiards with elliptical arcs are studied numerically and analytically. For the two-parameter truncated elliptical billiard the existence and linear stability of several…
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…
Billiards are flat cavities where a particle is free to move between elastic collisions with the boundary. In chaos theory these systems are simple prototypes, their conservative dynamics of a billiard may vary from regular to chaotic,…
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…
In a series of pump and probe experiments, we study the lifetime statistics of a quantum chaotic resonator when the number of open channels is greater than one. Our design embeds a stadium billiard into a two dimensional photonic crystal…
Recent works have established universal entanglement properties and demonstrated validity of single-particle eigenstate thermalization in quantum-chaotic quadratic Hamiltonians. However, a common property of all quantum-chaotic quadratic…

We examine the spectral properties of three-dimensional quantum billiards with a single pointlike scatterer inside. It is found that the spectrum shows chaotic (random-matrix-like) characteristics when the inverse of the formal strength…
For the first time a three--dimensional (3D) chaotic billiard -- the 3D Sinai billiard -- was quantized, and high--precision spectra with thousands of eigenvalues were calculated. We present here a semiclassical and statistical analysis of…
The dynamics of chaotic billiards is significantly influenced by coexisting regions of regular motion. Here we investigate the prevalence of a different fundamental structure, which is formed by marginally unstable periodic orbits and…
We study a two-particle circular billiard containing two finite-size circular particles that collide elastically with the billiard boundary and with each other. Such a two-particle circular billiard provides a clean example of an…
A statistical analysis of the eigenfrequencies of two sets of superconducting microwave billiards, one with mushroom-like shape and the other from the familiy of the Limacon billiards, is presented. These billiards have mixed…
We study the quantum behaviour of chaotic billiards which exhibit classically diffusive behaviour. In particular we consider the stadium billiard and discuss how the interplay between quantum localization and the rich structure of the…
Astute variations in the geometry of mathematical billiard tables have been and continue to be a source of understanding their wide range of dynamical behaviors, from regular to chaotic. Viewing standard specular billiards in the broader…
We study classical and quantum dynamics of a particle in a circular billiard with a straight cut. This system can be integrable, nonintegrable with soft chaos, or nonintegrable with hard chaos, as we vary the size of the cut. We use a…
We characterise the eigenfunctions of an equilateral triangle billiard in terms of its nodal domains. The number of nodal domains has a quadratic form in terms of the quantum numbers, with a non-trivial number-theoretic factor. The patterns…
In this work, we study a family of fully chaotic billiards that exhibits only rotational symmetries, whose geometry is based on the $C_3$ symmetry system proposed by Leyvraz, Schmit, and Seligman~(LSS) in 1996. Quantum spectral analyses are…
