In the present note, we uncover a remarkable connection between the length of periodic orbit of a classical particle enclosed in a class of 2-dimensional planar billiards and the energy of a quantum particle confined to move in an identical…
A system of two masses connected with a weightless rod (called dumbbell in this paper) interacting with a flat boundary is considered. The sharp bound on the number of collisions with the boundary is found using billiard techniques. In…

We discuss the propagation of kinetic energy through billiard balls fixed in place along a one-dimensional segment. The number of billiard balls is assumed to be large but finite and we assume kinetic energy propagates following the usual…
N point particles move within a billiard table made of two circular cavities connected by a straight channel. The usual billiard dynamics is modified so that it remains deterministic, phase space volumes preserving and time reversal…

Neutrino billiards serve as a model system for the study of aspects of relativistic quantum chaos. These are relativistic quantum billiards consisting of a spin-1/2 particle which is confined to a planar domain by imposing boundary…
We revisit a time-dependent, oval-shaped billiard to investigate a phase transition from bounded to unbounded energy growth. In the static case, the phase space exhibits a mixed structure. The chaotic sea in the static scenario leads to…
String breaking is a central dynamical process in theories featuring confinement, where a string connecting two charges decays at the expense of the creation of new particle-antiparticle pairs. Here, we show that this process can also be…
We review the basics of the dynamics of closed strings moving along the discretized line \Z. The string excitations are described by a field \phi_x(\tau) where x is the position of the string in the embedding space and \tau is a…

Physicists have used billiards to understand and explore both classical and quantum chaos. Recently, in 2001, a group at the University of Texas introduced an experimental set up for modeling the wedge billiard geometry called optical…
We investigate a circular cavity billiard within which a pair of identical hard disks of smaller but finite size is confined. Each disk shows a free motion except when bouncing elastically with its partner and with the boundary wall.…
We analyze the behavior of a gas of classical particles moving in a two-dimensional "nuclear" billiard whose multipole-deformed walls undergo periodic shape oscillations. We demonstrate that a single particle Hamiltonian containing coupling…
