Abstract
N-disk microwave billiards, which are representative of open quantum systems, are studied experimentally. The transmission spectrum yields the quantum resonances which are consistent with semiclassical calculations. The spectral autocorrelation of the quantum spectrum is shown to be determined by the classical Ruelle-Pollicot resonances, arising from the complex eigenvalues of the Perron-Frobenius operator. This work establishes a fundamental connection between quantum and classical correlations in open systems.
