Quantum transport in mesoscopic systems: complexity and statistical fluctuations. A maximum entropy viewpoint

This book presents the statistical theory of complex wave scattering and quantum transport in classically chaotic and disordered systems. The novel approach is a maximum-entropy viewpoint, which reveals the statistical regularity of the phenomena in a natural way. The book contains many worked-through exercises INDICE: 1: Introduction; 2: Quantum Mechanical Time Independent Scattering Theory I; 3: Quantum Mechanical Time Independent Scattering Theory II; 4: Linear Response Theory of Quantum Electronic Transport; 5: The Maximum EntropyApproach; 6: Electronic Transport through Open Chaotic Cavities; 7: Electronic Transport through Quasi One-Dimensional Disordered Systems; 8: An Introduction to Localization Theory; A: The Theorem of Kane-Serota-Lee; B: The Conductivity Tensor in RPA; C: The Conductance in Terms of the Transmission Coefficientof the Sample; D: Evaluation of the Invariant Measure
