Abstract

We calculate the density P(τ) of the eigenvalues of the Wigner-Smith time delay matrix for two-dimensional rectangular and circular billiards with one opening. For long times, the density of these so-called “proper delay times” decays algebraically, in contradistinction to chaotic quantum billiards for which P(τ) exhibits a long-time cutoff.
