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…
We introduce a new method for estimating the growth of various quantities arising in dynamical systems. We apply our method to polygonal billiards on surfaces of constant curvature. For instance, we obtain power bounds of degree two plus…
Andreev billiards are finite, arbitrarily-shaped, normal-state regions, surrounded by superconductor. At energies below the superconducting gap, single-quasiparticle excitations are confined to the normal region and its vicinity, the…
N-disk microwave billiards, which are representative of open quantum systems, are studied experimentally. The transmission spectrum yields the quantum resonances which are consistent with semiclassical calculations. The spectral…
We consider quasimodes on planar domains with a partially rectangular boundary. We prove that for any $\epsilon_0>0$, an $\O(\lambda^{-\epsilon_0})$ quasimode must have $L^2$ mass in the "wings" bounded below by $\lambda^{-2-\delta}$ for…

The exact probability distributions of the amplitudes of eigenfunctions, $\Psi(x, y)$, of several integrable planar billiards are analytically calculated and shown to possess singularities at $\Psi = 0$; the nature of this singularity is…

We use scanning near-field optical microscopy to image hyperbolic phonon polaritons in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) billiards with integrable and chaotic geometries. In Sinai billiards, we observe irregular mode patterns consistent with…
We prove an analogue of Sogge's local $L^p$ estimates for $L^p$ norms of restrictions of eigenfunctions to submanifolds, and use it to show that for quantum ergodic eigenfunctions one can get improvements of the results of…
We derive analytic expressions for the wavefunctions and energy levels in the semiclassical approximation for perturbed integrable systems. We find that some eigenstates of such systems are substantially different from any of the…
The plane wave decomposition method (PWDM) is one of the most popular strategies for numerical solution of the quantum billiard problem. The method is based on the assumption that each eigenstate in a billiard can be approximated by a…
We construct a continuous family of quasimodes for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a translation surface. We apply our result to rational polygonal quantum billiards and thus construct a continuous family of quasimodes for the Neumann…
We give a converging semidefinite programming hierarchy of outer approximations for the set of quantum correlations of fixed dimension and derive analytical bounds on the convergence speed of the hierarchy. In particular, we give a…
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…
The problem of the quantizations of the $L$-shaped billiards and the like ones, i.e. each angle of which is equal to $\pi/2$ or $3\pi/2$, is considered using as a tool the Fourier series expansion method. The respective wave functions and…
We discuss the localization of wavefunctions along planes containing the shortest periodic orbits in a three-dimensional billiard system with axial symmetry. This model mimicks the self-consistent mean field of a heavy nucleus at…

A consistent scheme of semiclassical quantization in polygon billiards by wave function formalism is presented. It is argued that it is in the spirit of the semiclassical wave function formalism to make necessary rationalization of…
