Abstract:: Billiards are an important class of systems showing a large variety of dynamical behaviour ranging from integrable (i.e. regular) motion, over mixed dynamics to strongly chaotic behaviour. Using tools developed with Python one can interactively study the complexity of the dynamics. This dynamical behaviour is directly reflected in properties of the corresponding quantum systems, like eigenvalue statistics or the structure of eigenfunctions.
