We study the time evolution of two wave packets prepared at the same initial state, but
evolving under slightly different Hamiltonians. For chaotic systems, we determine the …

Coulomb blockade resonances are measured in a GaAs quantum dot in which both shape
deformations and interactions are small. The parametric evolution of the Coulomb blockade …

We use random matrix models and a Fermi-liquid approach to investigate the ground state
energy of electrons confined to a nanoparticle. Our expression for the energy includes the …

We develop a semiclassical density functional theory in the context of quantum dots.
Coulomb blockade conductance oscillations have been measured in several experiments …

Manifestations of quantum coherence in the electronic conductance through nearly closed
quantum dots in the Coulomb-blockade regime are addressed. We show that quantum …

We calculate the Coulomb-blockade peak-spacing distribution at finite temperature using
the recently introduced “universal Hamiltonian” to describe the e− e interactions. We show …

We study the statistics of the spacing between Coulomb blockade conductance peaks in
quantum dots with large dimensionless conductance g. Our starting point is the “universal …

We develop a semiclassical theory of Coulomb blockade peak heights in chaotic quantum
dots. Using Berry's conjecture, we calculate peak height distributions and correlation …

We consider how the nature of the dynamics affects ground state properties of ballistic
quantum dots. We find that “mesoscopic Stoner fluctuations” that arise from the residual …

We study the spatial autocorrelation of energy eigenfunctions ψ n (q) corresponding to
classically chaotic systems in the semiclassical regime. Our analysis is based on the Weyl …
