This is a review of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix of a mesoscopic system. Two geometries are contrasted: A quantum dot and a disordered wire. The quantum dot is a confined region with a chaotic classical dynamics, which is coupled to two electron reservoirs via point contacts. The disordered wire also connects two reservoirs, either directly or via a point contact or tunnel barrier. One of the two reservoirs may be in the superconducting state, in which case conduction…

### Scattering matrix ensemble for time-dependent transport through a chaotic quantum dot

• Physics
• 2002
Random matrix theory can be used to describe the transport properties of a chaotic quantum dot coupled to leads. In such a description, two approaches have been taken in the literature, considering

### Scaling theory for anomalous semiclassical quantum transport

• Physics
• 2015
Quantum transport through devices coupled to electron reservoirs can be described in terms of the full counting statistics (FCS) of charge transfer. Transport observables, such as conductance and

### Interference phenomena in electronic transport through chaotic cavities: An information-theoretic approach

• Physics
• 1998
We develop a statistical theory describing quantum-mechanical scattering of a particle by a cavity when the geometry is such that the classical dynamics is chaotic. This picture is relevant to a

### Counting statistics and an anomalous metallic phase in a network of quantum dots

• Physics
• 2014
We report results relating to the transport properties of a quantum network formed by connecting chaotic quantum dots to each other and to electron reservoirs via barriers of arbitrary

### Random Matrix Theory and Quantum Transport

• Physics
• 2013
Random matrix theory begins with the observation that, given some distribution of matrix elements, the correlations of eigenvalues and vectors of these matrices are independent of many of the details

### Disordered Quantum Wires: Microscopic Origins of the DMPK Theory and Ohm’s Law

• Physics
• 2012
We study the electronic transport properties of the Anderson model on a strip, modeling a quasi one-dimensional disordered quantum wire. In the literature, the standard description of such wires is

### Influence of normal metal-superconductor interface on the statistics of conductance and shot noise power in a non-ideal chaotic quantum dot

• Physics
• 2021
In this paper, we apply Andreev’s reflection to study the sub-gap coherent transport properties for a quantum dot attached to normal metal and superconductor reservoirs via non-ideal leads. We use

• Physics
Physical Review X
• 2019
When an extended system is coupled at its opposite boundaries to two reservoirs at different temperatures or chemical potentials, it cannot achieve a global thermal equilibrium and is instead driven

### Spin Related Effects in Transport Properties of "Open" Quantum Dots

• Physics
• 2005
We study the interaction corrections to the transport coefficients in open quantum dots (i.e., dots connected to leads of large conductance $G⪢{e}^{2}∕\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\hbar}$), via a
