• Title: Superuniversal Statistics of Complex Time-Delays in Non-Hermitian Scattering Systems
• Authors: Nadav Shaibe, Jared M. Erb, Steven M. Anlage,
• Abstract summary: Wigner-Smith time-delay of flux conserving systems is a quantity that measures how long an excitation resides in an interaction region. We calculate the complex Wigner-Smith ($tau_WS$), as well as each individual reflection ($tau_xx$) and transmission ($tau_xy$) time-delays. The time-delay statistics described in this paper are applicable to any non-Hermitian wave-chaotic scattering system in the short-wavelength limit.

• Abstract: The Wigner-Smith time-delay of flux conserving systems is a real quantity that measures how long an excitation resides in an interaction region. The complex generalization of time-delay to non-Hermitian systems is still under development, in particular, its statistical properties in the short-wavelength limit of complex chaotic scattering systems has not been investigated. From the experimentally measured multi-port scattering ($S$)-matrices of one-dimensional graphs, a two-dimensional billiard, and a three-dimensional cavity, we calculate the complex Wigner-Smith ($\tau_{WS}$), as well as each individual reflection ($\tau_{xx}$) and transmission ($\tau_{xy}$) time-delays. The complex reflection time-delay differences ($\tau_{\delta R}$) between each port are calculated, and the transmission time-delay differences ($\tau_{\delta T}$) are introduced for systems exhibiting non-reciprocal scattering. Large time-delays are associated with coherent perfect absorption, reflectionless scattering, slow light, and uni-directional invisibility. We demonstrate that the large-delay tails of the distributions of the real and imaginary parts of each of these time-delay quantities are superuniversal, independent of experimental parameters: uniform attenuation $\eta$, number of scattering channels $M$, wave propagation dimension $\mathcal{D}$, and Dyson symmetry class $\beta$. This superuniversality is in direct contrast with the well-established time-delay statistics of unitary scattering systems, where the tail of the $\tau_{WS}$ distribution depends explicitly on the values of $M$ and $\beta$. Due to the direct analogy of the wave equations, the time-delay statistics described in this paper are applicable to any non-Hermitian wave-chaotic scattering system in the short-wavelength limit, such as quantum graphs, electromagnetic, optical and acoustic resonators, etc.

• Dynamical formulation of low-frequency scattering in two and three dimensions [0.0]
  Theory of scattering in one dimension can be expressed in terms of the time-evolution operator for an effective non-unitary quantum system. In two and three dimensions, there is a similar formulation of stationary scattering where the scattering properties of the scatterer are extracted from the evolution operator. We obtain explicit formulas for low-frequency scattering amplitude, examine their effectiveness in the study of a class of exactly solvable scattering problems, and outline their application in devising a low-frequency cloaking scheme.

• The quantum beam splitter with many partially indistinguishable photons: multiphotonic interference and asymptotic classical correspondence [44.99833362998488]
  We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons. Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability. The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.
