A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

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 …

In the time-reversed counterpart to laser emission, incident coherent optical fields are
perfectly absorbed within a resonator that contains a loss medium instead of a gain medium …

The article reviews recent developments in the theory of fluctuations and correlations of
energy levels and eigenfunction amplitudes in diffusive mesoscopic samples. Various …

We report detailed measurements of the low-temperature magnetoconductance in ballistic
microstructures in the shape of a ''chaotic''stadium and a circle with quantum-point-contact …

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 …

We review the quantum interference effects in a system of interacting electrons confined to a
quantum dot. The review starts with a description of an isolated quantum dot. We discuss the …

The aim of this book is to present a statistical theory of wave scattering by complex systems-
systems which have a chaotic classical dynamics, as in the case of microwave cavities and …

We deduce the effects of quantum interference on the conductance of chaotic cavities by
using a statistical ansatz for the S matrix. Assuming that the circular ensembles describe the …
