We study the statistical properties of the complex generalization of Wigner time delay $tau_text{W}$ for sub-unitary wave chaotic scattering systems. We first demonstrate theoretically that the mean value of the $text{Re}[tau_text{W}]$ distribution function for a system with uniform absorption strength $eta$ is equal to the fraction of scattering matrix poles with imaginary parts exceeding $eta$. The theory is tested experimentally with an ensemble of microwave graphs with either one or two scattering channels, and showing broken time-reversal invariance and variable uniform attenuation. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with the developed theory. The tails of the distributions of both real and imaginary time delay are measured and are also found to agree with theory. The results are applicable to any practical realization of a wave chaotic scattering system in the short-wavelength limit.

This is a course on Random Matrix Theory which includes traditional as well as advanced topics presented with an extensive use of classical logarithmic plasma analogy and that of the quantum systems of one-dimensional interacting fermions with inverse square interaction (Calogero-Sutherland model). Certain non-invariant random matrix ensembles are also considered with the emphasis on the eigenfunction statistics in them. The course can also be viewed as introduction to theory of localization where the (non-invariant) random matrix ensembles play a role of the toy models to illustrate functional methods based on super-vector/super-matrix representations.
We study the Loschmidt echo F(t) for a class of dynamical systems showing critical chaos. Using a kicked rotor with singular potential as a prototype model, we found that the classical echo shows a gap (initial drop) 1-F_g where F_g scales as F_g(alpha, epsilon, eta)= f_cl(chi_cl equiveta^{3-alpha}/epsilon); alpha is the order of singularity of the potential, eta is the spread of the initial phase space density and epsilon is the perturbation strength. Instead, the quantum echo gap is insensitive to alpha, described by a scaling law F_g = f_q(chi_q = eta^2/epsilon) which can be captured by a Random Matrix Theory modeling of critical systems. We trace this quantum-classical discrepancy to strong diffraction effects that dominate the dynamics.
We present an in-depth study of the universal correlations of scattering-matrix entries required in the framework of non-stationary many-body scattering where the incoming states are localized wavepackets. Contrary to the stationary case the emergence of universal signatures of chaotic dynamics in dynamical observables manifests itself in the emergence of universal correlations of the scattering matrix at different energies. We use a semiclassical theory based on interfering paths, numerical wave function based simulations and numerical averaging over random-matrix ensembles to calculate such correlations and compare with experimental measurements in microwave graphs, finding excellent agreement. Our calculations show that the universality of the correlators survives the extreme limit of few open channels relevant for electron quantum optics, albeit at the price of dealing with large-cancellation effects requiring the computation of a large class of semiclassical diagrams.
The dynamical response of Coulomb-interacting particles in nano-clusters are analyzed at different temperatures characterizing their solid- and liquid-like behavior. Depending on the trap-symmetry, both the spatial and temporal correlations undergo slow, stretched exponential relaxations at long times, arising from spatially correlated motion in string-like paths. Our results indicate that the distinction between the `solid and `liquid is soft: While particles in a `solid flow producing dynamic heterogeneities, motion in `liquid yields unusually long tail in the distribution of particle-displacements. A phenomenological model captures much of the subtleties of our numerical simulations.
We study coherent wave scattering through waveguides with a step-like surface disorder and find distinct enhancements in the reflection coefficients at well-defined resonance values. Based on detailed numerical and analytical calculations, we can unambiguously identify the origin of these reflection resonances to be higher-order correlations in the surface disorder profile which are typically neglected in similar studies of the same system. A remarkable feature of this new effect is that it relies on the longitudinal correlations in the step profile, although individual step heights are random and thus completely uncorrelated. The corresponding resonances are very pronounced and robust with respect to ensemble averaging, and lead to an enhancement of wave reflection by more than one order of magnitude.
