Mesoscopic System: Semiclassical vs Quantum

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2022-04-29 v2

Abstract

We explain a hierarchy of Friedel sum rule like formulas that help us understand response of mesoscopic systems to applied electric and magnetic fields. The formulas can be derived fully quantum mechanically and then there is a mathematical way to argue a semiclassical limit which may make the formulas practically relevant. But the mathematical prescription is not physically relevant in presence of a Fano resonance. A proper understanding of what exactly is the physical semiclassical limit is therefor not known and require future work.
