It presents the comprehensive theoretical background, and explores groundbreaking experiments, and contains control questions and exercises throughout.This textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the rapidly developing and diverse field of quantum transport, which is seemingly contains seemingly contradicting concepts - quantum and classical, conduction and insulating - within a single nanodevice.. The authors present the broad theoretical background, and explore the groundbreaking experiments that laid the foundations of the field. Ideal for graduate students, each section contains control questions and exercises to check readers understanding of the topics covered. Its broad scope and in-depth analysis of selected topics will appeal to researchers and professionals working in nanoscience.Preface; Introduction; 1. Scattering; 2. Classical and semiclassical transport; 3. Coulomb blockade; 4. Randomness and interference; 5. Qubits and quantum dots; 6. Interaction, relaxation and decoherence; Appendices; References; Index. I warmly recommend Quantum Transport to lecturers and students interested in the subject. In view of its comprehensive coverage of numerous topics and its accessible style, Nazarov and Blanter's text has the potential to become a standarl“„
