Random Matrix Theory of Scattering in Chaotic and Disordered Media
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the randommatrix theory describing elastic scattering through zero-dimensional ballistic cavities (having chaotic classical dynamics) and quasi-one dimensional disordered systems. In zero dimension, general symmetry considerations (flux conservation and time reversal symmetry) are only considered, while the combination law of scatterers put in series is taken into account in quasi-one dimension. Originally developed for calculating the distribution of the electrical conductance of mesoscopic systems, this theory naturally reveals the universal behaviors characterizing elastic scattering of various scalar waves.

A version of scattering theory that was developed many years ago to treat nuclear scattering processes, has provided a powerful tool to study universality in scattering processes involving open quantum systems with underlying classically chaotic dynamics. Recently, it has been used to make random matrix theory predictions concerning the statistical properties of scattering resonances in mesosco...

متن کاملInvariance property of wave scattering through disordered media.
A fundamental insight in the theory of diffusive random walks is that the mean length of trajectories traversing a finite open system is independent of the details of the diffusion process. Instead, the mean trajectory length depends only on the system's boundary geometry and is thus unaffected by the value of the mean free path. Here we show that this result is rooted on a much deeper level th...
متن کاملA Universal Property of Eigenfunctions of Chaotic and Disordered systems
We study the distribution function of ratio of components of eigenfunctions in chaotic and disordered systems. A universal behavior of the form of Lorentzian distribution is found for the distribution function in several models: analytically for the Random Matrix Model and numerically for the Band Random Matrix Model, the Lipkin model, a chaotic quantum billiard and a 1D tight binding model. PA...
متن کاملScattering matrix ensemble for time-dependent transport through a chaotic quantum dot
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 scattering matrix as the fundamental random quantity of the theory. In this paper, we calculate the first four moments of the distribution of the scattering m...
