Abstract
Statistical properties of energy levels, wave functions and quantum-mechanical matrix elements in disordered conductors are usually calculated assuming diffusive electron dynamics. Mirlin has pointed out [Phys. Rep. 326, 259 (2000)] that ballistic effects may, under certain circumstances, dominate diffusive contributions. We study the influence of such ballistic effects on the statistical properties of wave functions in quasi-one dimensional disordered conductors. Our results support the view that ballistic effects can be significant in these systems.
