Our Research
The Quantum Chaos Group studies manifestations of classical chaos in properties of the corresponding quantum
or more generally wave-dynamical systems. Such systems include microwave networks and cavities resonators,
quantum graphs and billiards as well as atoms in strong electromagnetic fields. Properties of microwave
and quantum graphs, and billiards depend very sensitively on the shapes of the systems and their classical
analogues can exhibit chaotic, regular or mixed dynamics. We investigate quantum graphs and billiards in
analog experiments using microwave networks and thin microwave resonators of corresponding shapes.
Our experimental and theoretical investigations include the study of the statistical fluctuation properties
of the eigenvalues, the manifestation of periodic orbits in quantum spectra, quantum chaotic scattering
and isoscattering networks and graphs.
