Exploring Quantum, Classical and Semi-Classical Chaos in the Stadium Billiard
This paper explores quantum and classical chaos in the stadium billiard using Matlab simulations to investigate the behavior of wave functions in the stadium and the corresponding classical orbits believed to underlie wave function scarring. The simulations use three complementary methods. The quant...
