Quantum Chaos and Quantum Dots - Nakamura, Katsuhiro (, Department of Applied Physics, Osaka City University, Japan) a Harayama, Takahisa (, ATR Adaptive Communications Research Laboratories, Kyoto, Japan)

This book describes quantum chaos and quantum transport in microscopic billiards. Microscopic billiards are typical dynamical systems in which it is easy to see chaos classically and also to investigate effects of chaos on quantum phenomena. Owing to recent progress in microstructure fabrication technology, quantum chaos can now be studied experimentally rather than only as a sophisticated theory.
