Chaos In Mesoscopic Systems - Proceedings Of The Miniworkshop On Nonlinearity: Chaos In Mesoscopic Systems And The Adriatico Research Conference On Mesoscopic Systems And Chaos: A Novel Approach
This text contains the proceedings of two conferences on chaos in mesoscopic systems. The study of chaos in quantum systems has led to an understanding of quantum billiards and to the statistics of the distribution of energy levels of those systems.
Part 1 Models and natural systems: chaos on many body quantum systems, C. Presilla et al; atomic clusters - laboratories for studying chaos and ergodicity, R.S. Berry; concerning fluctuations in quantum chaos, G. Casati and B. Chirikov; persistent fluctuations in globally coupled chaotic systems, G. Perez et al. Part 2 Artificial microstructures: order and chaos in a quantum system - semiclassical electron effusion theory of conductance through a microscopic junction, J.B. Delos et al; breakdown of the law of large numbers in Josephson junction series arrays, D. Dominguez and H.A. Cerdeira; antidot arrays - chaotic dynamics in magnetotransport experiments, D. Weiss and K. Richter. (Part contents).
