Moments of the Wigner delay times

The Wigner time delay is a measure of the time spent by a particle inside the scattering region of an open system. For chaotic systems, the statistics of the individual delay times (whose average is the Wigner time delay) are thought to be well described by random matrix theory. Here we present a semiclassical derivation showing the validity of random matrix results. In order to simplify the se...

Efficient semiclassical approach for time delays

The Wigner time delay, defined by the energy derivative of the total scattering phase shift, is an important spectral measure of an open quantum system characterizing the duration of the scattering event. It is proportional to the trace of the Wigner–Smith matrix Q that also encodes other time-delay characteristics. For chaotic cavities, these quantities exhibit universal fluctuations that are ...

Transport moments and Andreev billiards with tunnel barriers

Open chaotic systems are expected to possess universal transport statistics and recently there have been many advances in understanding and obtaining expressions for their transport moments. However when tunnel barriers are added, which represents the situation in more general experimental physical systems much less is known about the behaviour of the moments. By incorporating tunnel barriers i...
