Global and local level dynamics in chaotic microwave billiards

چکیده
The spectra of Sinai microwave billiards and rectangular billiards with statistically distributed circular scatterers have been taken as a function of the position of one wall, and of one of the scatterers, respectively. Whereas in the first case the velocity distribution and correlations obey the universal behaviour predicted by Simons and Altshuler, in the second case a completely different behaviour is observed. This is due to the fact that a shift of one wall changes the wave function globally whereas the displacement of one scatterer only leads to a local perturbance.

A Computational Study of the Quantization of Billiards with Mixed Dynamics
We examine the relationship between the spectrum of quantum mushroom billiards and the structure of their classical counterparts, which have mixed integrable-chaotic dynamics. Accordingly, we study the eigenvalues corresponding to eigenfunctions of the stationary Schrödinger equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on half-mushroom-shaped geometries for very high energies/wavenum...
متن کاملLevel dynamics in pseudointegrable billiards: an experimental study
The level dynamics of pseudointegrable systems with different genus numbers g is studied experimentally using microwave cavities. For higher energies the distribution of the eigenvalue velocities is Gaussian, as it is expected for chaotic systems with time-reversal symmetry, and shows no dependence on g. Also the curvature distribution P (k) for large k is decaying as it is expected for chaotic...
متن کاملExperimental and theoretical aspects of quantum chaos A SOCRATES Lecture Course at CAMTP, University of Maribor, Slovenia
In this series of lectures an introduction into quantum chaos is presented. The discussion will be kept on an elementary level, and theory will be illustrated, wherever possible, by experimental or numerical examples. Microwave billiards will play a major role in this respect. The lectures start with a presentation of the various types of billiard experiments. Mesoscopic systems are discussed a...
متن کاملStudy of the elastic enhancement factor and nearest neighbor spacing distribution for partially chaotic and chaotic systems
We will present the results of experimental studies of the elastic enhancement factor W and the nearest neighbors spacing distribution P(s) for microwave rectangular and rough cavities simulating two-dimensional quantum billiards in a transient region between regular and chaotic dynamics [1] and in a pure chaotic dynamics region, respectively. The analogy between microwave cavities and quantum ...
متن کاملIsospectrality in chaotic billiards.
We consider a modification of isospectral cavities whereby the classical dynamics changes from pseudointegrable to chaotic. We construct an example where we can prove that isospectrality is retained. We then demonstrate this explicitly in microwave resonators.
