While collision lifetimes are a fundamental property of few-body scattering events, their behavior at ultralow temperatures is not completely understood. We derive a general expression for the Smith lifetime Q-matrix using multichannel…
We show that the study of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix S for quantum chaotic scattering in the presence of direct processes (charaterized by a nonzero average S matrix <S>) can be reduced to the simpler case where…
Although many physical arguments account for using a modified definition of time delay in multichannel-type scattering processes, one can hardly find rigorous results on that issue in the literature. We try to fill in this gap by showing,…

The Wigner delay time is addressed semiclassically using the Miller's S-matrix expressed in terms of open orbits. This leads to a very appealing expression, in terms of classical paths, for the energy averaged Wigner time delay in chaotic…
Assuming the validity of random matrices for describing the statistics of a closed chaotic quantum system, we study analytically some statistical properties of the S-matrix characterizing scattering in its open counterpart. In the first…
The $M$-dimensional scattering matrix $S(E)$ which connects incoming to outgoing waves in a chaotic systyem is always unitary, but shows complicated dependence on the energy. This is partly encoded in correlators constructed from traces of…

Random matrix theory can be used to describe the transport properties of a chaotic quantum dot coupled to leads. In such a description, two approaches have been taken in the literature, considering either the Hamiltonian of the dot or its…
Electronic transport properties of the disordered quantum wires are considered. The disorder is introduced via impurities (point scatterers), distributed uniformly over the two-dimensional strip, which represents a model quantum wire.…
