title: Collective modes in an open microwave billiard
abstract: Numerical calculations for a microwave Sinai billiard coupled strongly to a lead are performed as a function of the coupling strength between billiard and lead. They prove the formation of different time scales in an open quantum system at large coupling strength. The short-lived collective states are formed together with many long-lived trapped states.
