Experimental investigation of Wigner's reaction matrix for irregular graphs with absorption

Abstract: We use tetrahedral microwave networks consisting of coaxial cables and attenuators connected by T -joints to make an experimental study of Wigner's reaction K matrix for irregular graphs in the presence of absorption. From measurements of the scattering matrix S for each realization of the microwave network we obtain distributions of the imaginary and real parts of K. Our experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

“…The mathematical equivalence of spectra of twodimensional quantum billiards and flat microwave resonators is used to experimentally explore a variety of quantum chaotic phenomena in closed [22,23,54,55] and open systems [56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Here, we use the data measured for a microwave billiard in the shape of a classically chaotic tilted-stadium billiard; see Refs.…”

“…Scattering theory is needed to understand experiments in a wide range of fields [3], including nuclear, atomic and molecular physics, as well as mesoscopic ballistic devices and even classical wave systems such as microwave and elastomechanical billiards, and most recently wireless communication [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,12,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33]. Scattering theory still poses challenges, we recently solved one of those by calculating tthe distribution of the off-diagonal scattering matrix elements.…”

“…In mathematical physics the Dirac oscillator has become a paradigm for the realization of covariant quantum models and it has found applications both in nuclear [23][24][25] and subnuclear [26,27] physics as well as in quantum optics [28][29][30]. Very recently a one dimensional version of the Dirac oscillator has been realised experimentally [31] for the first time with realistic prospects to realise in the near future the two dimensional version of the Dirac oscillator which may be feasible using networks of microwave coaxial cables [32][33][34]. It is interesting to note that a further interaction in the form of a homogeneous magnetic field can still be incorporated in the Dirac oscillator keeping the system still exactly solvable [28,[35][36][37][38] and this combined system has quite interesting properties.…”
