Survival probability of an open circular microwave resonator — Stefan Bittner, Barbara Dietz-Pilatus, Thomas Friedrich, Maksim Miski-Oglu, •Pedro Oria Iriarte, Achim Richter, and Florian Schäfer — Institut für Kernphysik, Schloßgartenstraße 9, 64289 Darmstadt

An experimental study of an open circular quantum billiard simulated by a flat microwave cavity is presented. A piece of absorber material placed on the boundary simulates a hole and opens the system. The survival probability is determined and compared to its classical counterpart obtained by a numerical simulation. It is connected to the famous Riemann hypothesis in the limit of a small opening. This connection might be accessible in further experiments.
