We studied superconducting chaotic microwave billiards and found spectral fluctuations deviate from random matrix theory predictions. This is due to the system

Area of Science:

  • Quantum chaos
  • Condensed matter physics
  • Microwave physics

Background:

  • Superconducting chaotic microwave billiards exhibit complex spectral properties.
  • Random matrix theory (Gaussian orthogonal ensemble) often predicts spectral statistics in chaotic systems.
  • Understanding deviations from these predictions is crucial for characterizing open quantum systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally investigate the eigenfrequency statistics of a superconducting chaotic microwave billiard with a rotatable obstacle.
  • To identify and explain deviations in spectral fluctuations from Gaussian orthogonal ensemble predictions.
  • To analyze the system as an open scattering system and study its interaction with the environment.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental measurements of eigenfrequency statistics in a superconducting chaotic microwave billiard.

  • Inclusion of a rotatable obstacle to modify system dynamics.
  • Characterization of the billiard as an open system with coupled microwave power via antennas.
  • Utilization of a sensitive parametric correlator to study system-environment interactions.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed deviations in spectral fluctuations from Gaussian orthogonal ensemble predictions.
    • Demonstrated that treating the billiard as an open scattering system explains these deviations.
    • Quantified the influence of coupled microwave power on spectral statistics.

    Conclusions:

    • The spectral fluctuations in superconducting chaotic microwave billiards are influenced by their nature as open systems.
    • Deviations from random matrix theory predictions can be attributed to energy exchange with the environment.
    • The experimental setup provides a platform for studying quantum-to-classical transitions and system-environment coupling.
