Review text

These lecture notes are devoted to stochastic fluctuations in small isolated quantum systems (microscopic or mesoscopic). The fluctuations arise as a consequence of chaotic dynamics or disorder and they are modeled by replacing a complex Hamiltonian of the system by a random matrix model like Gaussian orthogonal (unitary or symplectic) ensemble. Different methods of averaging including Monte-Carlo simulation, disorder perturbation theory, replica trick and Grassmann integration are presented. The concrete examples like statistical nuclear cross-section, chaotic quantum scattering and conductance fluctuations in mesoscopic systems are discussed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0901.00048].
