The Wigner-Smith (WS) time delay matrix relates an acoustic system's scattering matrix to its wavenumber derivative. The entries of the WS time delay matrix can be expressed in terms of energy density-like volume integrals, which cannot be…

We study the Wigner-Smith time-delay matrix $Q$ of a ballistic quantum dot supporting $N$ scattering channels. We compute the $v$-point correlators of the power traces $\mathrm{Tr} Q^{\kappa}$ for arbitrary $v\geq1$ at leading order for…
