Abstract
Wave functions of a stadium billiard are determined in a microwave analog experiment. It is shown that Gutzwiller’s semiclassical representation of the Green’s function in terms of classical trajectories can account not only for eigenvalue spectra but also for eigenfunction patterns.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
