Quasiparticle transport in arrays of chaotic cavities

Abstract

We find the distribution of transmission eigenvalues in a series of identical junctions between chaotic cavities using the circuit theory of mesoscopic transport. This distribution rapidly approaches the diffusive wire limit as the number of junctions increases, independent of the specific scattering properties of a single junction. The cumulant generating function and the first three cumulants of the charge transfer through the system are obtained both in the normal and in the superconducting state.
