Level-Spacing Statistics of a Microwave Billiard in the Outline of a Standard-Issue Workstation
A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement measures the resonance spectra of a flat microwave cavity machined at 1:4 scale in the outline of a standard-issue workstation, finding Poisson statistics for the plain 2:1 rectangle, intermediate statistics once an ergonomic notch is cut, and level repulsion from a round cable-grommet post only above 9 GHz, where the wavelength first resolves the hole.
