Description
Summary:Problems related to modeling open quantum devices are discussed. Research of Exner and co-workers in quantum wires, Stollmann, Figotin, Bellissard and others in the area of Anderson localization and the quantum Hall effect, and Bird, Ferry, Berggren and others in the area of quantum devices and their modeling is surveyed. The work on finite volume graphical models is interconnected to recent work on Ramanujan graphs and diagrams, the Phillips-Sarnak conjectures, L-functions and scattering theory." "The book will be of use to physicists, mathematicians and engineers interested in quantum wires, quantum devices and related mesoscopic systems."--Jacket.
Physical Description:xv, 302 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.
