New Directions in Quantum Chaos (International School of Physics ""Enrico Fermi"", 143)

The rapid progress of the research field of quantum chaos and its applications called for a book that keeps students abreast of the new developments and at the same time provides a solid bases in subjects which form the canon of the field. This book discusses the following topics: Spectral statistics and their semiclassical interpretation in terms of the Gutzwiller trace formula, Quantum chaos and its applications in mesoscopic physics, Spectral statistics and conductance fluctuations and Quantum chaos in systems with many degrees of freedom. The line of this book connects and continues past and present achievements and prepares the ground for a future full of intriguing and important developments.G. Casati is the author of 'New Directions in Quantum Chaos (International School of Physics ""Enrico Fermi"", 143)', published 2000 under ISBN 9781586030742 and ISBN 1586030744.
