This is a review of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix of a mesoscopic system.
Two geometries are contrasted: A quantum dot and a disordered wire. The quantum dot is a …

We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last fifteen years. We
emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of …

Gaussian random‐matrix ensembles defined over the tangent spaces of the large families of
Cartan's symmetric spaces are considered. Such ensembles play a central role in …

A quantum dot is a sub-micron-scale conducting device containing up to several thousand
electrons. Transport through a quantum dot at low temperatures is a quantum-coherent …

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 …

The application of random-matrix theory (RMT) to compound-nucleus (CN) reactions is
reviewed. An introduction into the basic concepts of nuclear scattering theory is followed by …

We review recent progress in analysing wave scattering in systems with both intrinsic chaos
and/or disorder and internal losses, when the scattering matrix is no longer unitary. By …

We present experimental studies of the power spectrum and other fluctuation properties in
the spectra of microwave networks simulating chaotic quantum graphs with violated time …

In a frequency range where a microwave resonator simulates a chaotic quantum billiard, we
have measured moduli and phases of reflection and transmission amplitudes in the regimes …
