Abstract

A new scattering approach for correlated one-dimensional systems is developed. The adiabatic contact to charge reservoirs is encoded in time-dependent boundary conditions. The conductance matrix for an arbitrary gated wire, respecting charge conservation, is expressed through a dynamic scattering matrix. It is shown that the dc conductance is equal to e^2/h for any model with conserved total left- and right-moving charges. The ac conductance matrix is explicitly computated for the interacting Tomonaga-Luttinger model.
