Dynamical properties are studied for escaping particles, injected through a hole in an oval billiard. The dynamics is considered for both static and periodically moving boundaries. For the static boundary, two different decays for the…
Berry's random wave conjecture posits that high energy eigenfunctions of chaotic systems resemble random monochromatic waves at the Planck scale. One important consequence is that, at the Planck scale around "many" points in the manifold,…

In this study, potential scatterings are formulated in experimental setups with Gaussian wave packets in accordance with a probability principle and associativity of products. A breaking of an associativity is observed in scalar products…
This paper explores two instances where dissipation plays a crucial role in curbing the unbounded energy growth of particles in time-dependent billiards. The first example involves an elliptical-like billiard with inelastic collisions…
In the present work we explore the concept of solitary wave billiards. I.e., instead of a point particle, we examine a solitary wave in an enclosed region and explore its collision with the boundaries and the resulting trajectories in cases…

It is well known that a state with complex energy cannot be the eigenstate of a self-adjoint operator, like the Hamiltonian. Resonances, i.e. states with exponentially decaying observables, are not vectors belonging to the conventional…
We consider the quantum problem of a particle in either a spherical box or a finite spherical well confined by a circular cone with an apex angle $2\theta_0$ emanating from the center of the sphere, with $0<\theta_0<\pi$. This non-central…
A comparison of classical and quantum evolution usually involves a quasi-probability distribution as a quantum analogue of the classical phase space distribution. In an alternate approach that we adopt here, the classical density is…
The arithmetic triangular billiards are classically chaotic but have Poissonian energy level statistics, in ostensible violation of the BGS conjecture. We show that the length spectra of their periodic orbits divides into subspectra…
Wave packet revivals and fractional revivals are hallmark quantum interference phenomena that arise in systems with nonlinear energy spectra, and their signatures in expectation values of observables have been studied extensively in earlier…
We re-examine the Hartle-Hawking wave function from the point of view of a quantum theory which starts from the connection representation and allows for off-shell non-constancy of $\Lambda$ (as in unimodular theory), with a concomitant dual…
The bounce spectrum of a polygonal billiard table is the collection of all bi-infinite sequences of edge labels corresponding to billiard trajectories on the table. We give methods for reconstructing from the bounce spectrum of a polygonal…
We report on the numerical simulation of the double-slit experiment, where the initial wave-packet is bounded inside a billiard domain with perfectly reflecting walls. If the shape of the billiard is such that the classical ray dynamics is…
We construct semi-infinite billiard domains which reverse the direction of most incoming particles. We prove that almost all particles will leave the open billiard domain after a finite number of reflections. Moreover, with high probability…
The dynamics of a single quantum state embedded in one or several (quasi-)continua is one of the most studied phenomena in quantum mechanics. In this work we investigate its discrete analogue and consider short and long time dynamics based…
