16. Conclusions • We show that quantum graphs can be simulated experimentally by microwave networks • Microwave networks without microwave circulators simulate quantum graphs with time reversal symmetry • Microwave networks with microwave circulators simulate quantum graphs with broken time reversal symmetry • We measured and calculated numerically the distribution of the reflection coefficient P(R) and the distributions of Wigner reaction matrix P(v) and P(u) for hexagonal graphs The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions • We show that the cross-correlation function can be used for identifying a system’s symmetry class but is not satisfactory in the presence of the strong absorption • We show that the autocorrelation function has universal shape of a distribution for systems with time reversal symmetry
