Abstract
Galperin [Regul. Chaotic. Dyn. 8, 375 (2003)] introduced an interesting method to learn the digits of π by counting the collisions of two billiard balls and a hard wall. This paper studies two quantum versions of the Galperin billiards. It is shown that the digits of π can be observed in the phase shifts of the quantum models.
