Experimental investigation of distributions of the off-diagonal elements of the scattering and the Wigner'sK matrices for networks with broken time reversal invariance
Résumé
We present an extensive experimental study of the distributions of the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal elements of the scattering matrixŜ and the Wigner's reactionK-matrix for open microwave networks with broken time (T) reversal invariance. Microwave Faraday circulators were applied in order to break T-invariance. The experimental distributions of the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal entries of the scattering matrixŜ are compared with the theoretical predictions from the supersymmetry random matrix theory [A. Nock, S. Kumar, H.-J. Sommers, and T. Guhr, Annals of Physics 342, 103-132 (2014)]. Furthermore, we show that the experimental results are in very good agreement with the recent predictions for the distributions of the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal elements of the Wigner's reactionK-matrix obtained within the framework of the Gaussian unitary ensemble of random matrix theory (RMT) [S. B. Fedeli and Y. V. Fyodorov, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 53, 165701 (2020)]. Both theories include losses as tunable parameters and are therefore well adapted to the experimental verification.
