Abstract
Mesoscopic structures are generally operated in an open-loop configuration, whereas most practical electronics including quantum interference devices such as SQUIDs are operated closed-loop, taking advantage of feedback. This paper presents some basic considerations on the use of feedback in mesoscopic samples with universal statistical properties. The controllability of mesoscopic fluctuations is shown to be connected to problems in continuum percolation, leading to the requirement of two control parameters to achieve robust control.
