We study the dynamics of a bouncing coin whose motion is restricted to the two-dimensional plane. Such coin model is equivalent to the system of two equal masses connected by a rigid rod, making elastic collisions with a flat boundary. We…
This work presents some results regarding three-dimensional billiards having a non-constant potential of Keplerian type inside a regular domain $D\subset \mathcal R^3$. Two models will be analysed: in the first one, only an inner Keplerian…
We investigate statistical properties of several classes of periodic billiard models which are diffusive. An introductory chapter gives motivation, and then a review of statistical properties of dynamical systems is given in chapter 2. In…
In standard (mathematical) billiards a point particle moves uniformly in a billiard table with elastic reflections off the boundary. We show that in transition from mathematical billiards to physical billiards, where a finite size hard…
In numerically solving the Helmholtz equation inside a connected plane domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions (the problem of the quantum billiard) one surprisingly faces enormous difficulties if the domain has a problematic geometry…
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…
We study the quantum dynamics of diatomic molecule driven by a circularly polarized resonant electric field. We look for a quantum effect due to classical chaos appearing due to the overlapping of nonlinear resonances associated to the…
We assume that the level spectra of quantum systems in the initial phase of transition from integrability to chaos are approximated by superpositions of independent sequences. Each individual sequence is modeled by a random matrix ensemble.…
Within classical optics, one may add microscopic "roughness" to a macroscopically flat mirror so that parallel rays of a given angle are reflected at different outgoing angles. Taking the limit (as the roughness becomes increasingly…
We consider classical billiards in plane, connected, but not necessarily bounded domains. The charged billiard ball is immersed in a homogeneous, stationary magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. The part of dynamics which is not…
We apply periodic orbit theory to a two-dimensional non-integrable billiard system whose boundary is varied smoothly from a circular to an equilateral triangular shape. Although the classical dynamics becomes chaotic with increasing…
We argue that the random-matrix like energy spectra found in pseudointegrable billiards with pointlike scatterers are related to the quantum violation of scale invariance of classical analogue system. It is shown that the behavior of the…
A scattering process can be described by suitably closing the system and considering the first return map from the entrance onto itself. This scattering map may be singular and discontinuous, but it will be measure preserving as a…
Two dimensional InAs/GaAs quantum ring (QR) is considered using the effective potential approach. The symmetry of QR shape is violated as it is in the well-known Bohigas annular billiard. We calculate energy spectrum and studied the spatial…
We introduce a new class of billiard systems in the plane, with boundaries formed by finitely many arcs of confocal conics such that they contain some reflex angles. Fundamental dynamical, topological, geometric, and arithmetic properties…
We study the quantum interference effect for the single ballistic Aharonov-Bohm billiard in the presence of a weak magnetic field B. The diagonal part of the wave-number averaged reflection coefficient $\delta {\cal R}_D$ is calculated by…
We analyze the dynamics of a valence electron of the buckminsterfullerene molecule (C60) subjected to a circularly polarized laser field by modeling it with the motion of a classical particle in an annular billiard. We show that the phase…
We investigate the impact of internal spin on chaos in billiard systems. Extending the standard point-particle billiard by coupling translational and rotational degrees of freedom through a dimensionless spin parameter $\alpha = I/(mr^2)…
We propose a flower shape billiard in order to study the irregular parameter dependence of chaotic normal diffusion. Our model is an open system consisting of periodically distributed obstacles of flower shape, and it is strongly chaotic…
We resolve a long-standing riddle in quantum chaos, posed by certain fully chaotic billiards with constant negative curvature whose periodic orbits are highly degenerate in length. Depending on the boundary conditions for the quantum wave…
