Fourier transforming the oscillating part of the nodal count of the following graph(Boundary conditions and lengths of bonds are indicated) gives the result:

Introduction - billiards Introduction – metric graphs

• Classical – A particle which moves freely inside the billiard and is reflected from the walls

• Quantum – The eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues of the laplacian on the billiard:

• Classical – A particle which moves freely on the bonds and is probabilistically transmitted to any connected bond when it reaches a vertex

• Quantum - The eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues of the second derivative on the graph:
