We report on the experimental study of the spectral properties of quantum systems consisting of two quantum billiards (QBs), one with chaotic, the other one with integrable classical dynamics, that are coupled to each other via an opening…
In many situations, the statistical properties of wave systems with chaotic classical limits are well-described by random matrix theory. However, applications of random matrix theory to scattering problems require introduction of system…
We study some new universal aspects of diffusion in chaotic systems, especially such having very large Lyapunov coefficients on the chaotic (indecomposable, topologically transitive) component. We do this by discretizing the chaotic…
The dynamics in weakly chaotic Hamiltonian systems strongly depends on initial conditions and little can be affirmed about generic behaviors. Using two distinct Hamiltonian systems, namely one particle in an open rectangular billiard and…
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…
Wavefunctions in chaotic and disordered quantum billiards are studied experimentally using thin microwave cavities. The chaotic wavefunctions display universal density distributions and density auto-correlations in agreement with…
We introduce a class of convex, higher-dimensional billiard models which generalise stadium billiards. These models correspond to the free motion of a point-particle in a region bounded by cylinders cut by planes. They are motivated by…
Chaotic diffusion on periodic orbits (POs) is studied for the perturbed Arnol'd cat map on a cylinder, in a range of perturbation parameters corresponding to an extended structural-stability regime of the system on the torus. The diffusion…
We discover numerically that a moving wave packet in a quantum chaotic billiard will always evolve into a quantum state, whose density probability distribution is exponential. This exponential distribution is found to be universal for…
Quantum graphs have recently been introduced as model systems to study the spectral statistics of linear wave problems with chaotic classical limits. It is proposed here to generalise this approach by considering arbitrary, directed graphs…
We introduce the spherical wedge billiard, a dynamical system consisting of a particle moving along a geodesic on a closed non-Euclidean surface of a spherical wedge. We derive the analytic form of the corresponding Poincar\'e map and find…
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…
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…
We investigate the large scale chaotic, topological structure of the trajectories of an infinite sequence of dispersing, hence ergodic, $2D$ billiards with the configuration space $Q_n=\mathbb{T}^2 \setminus \bigcup_{i=0}^{n-1} D_i$, where…
We consider the distribution of the (properly normalized) numbers of nodal domains of wave functions in 2-$d$ quantum billiards. We show that these distributions distinguish clearly between systems with integrable (separable) or chaotic…
Mathematical billiards is much like the real game: a point mass, representing the ball, rolls in a straight line on a (perfectly friction-less) table, striking the sides according to the law of reflection. A billiard trajectory is then…
We study the quantal energy spectrum of triangular billiards on a spherical surface. Group theory yields analytical results for tiling billiards while the generic case is treated numerically. We find that the statistical properties of the…
Understanding the statistical properties of the aperiodic planar Lorentz gas stands as a grand challenge in the theory of dynamical systems. Here we study a greatly simplified but related model, proposed by Arvind Ayyer and popularized by…
We consider random transformations $T_\omega^n:=T_{\sigma^{n-1}\omega}\circ\cdots\circ T_{\sigma\omega}\circ T_\omega,$ where each map $T_{\omega}$ acts on a complete metrizable space $M$. The randomness comes from an invertible ergodic…
We develop a statistical theory that describes quantum-mechanical scattering of a particle by a cavity when the geometry is such that the classical dynamics is chaotic. This picture is relevant to a variety of physical systems, ranging from…
