We study the time-dependent scattering of a quantum mechanical wave packet at a barrier for energies larger than the barrier height, in the semi-classical regime. More precisely, we are interested in the leading order of the exponentially…

In many problems, the scattering amplitudes of weak coherent pulse are almost equivalent to the ones of single propagating photon. We thoroughly compare the scattering of: (i) short microwave coherent pulse from rf generator and (ii)…

Semiclassical methods are extremely valuable in the study of transport and thermodynamical properties of ballistic microstructures. By expressing the conductance in terms of classical trajectories, we demonstrate that quantum interference…
