Quantum Transport
Introduction to Nanoscience
Quantum transport is a diverse field, bining seemingly contradicting
concepts – quantum and classical, conducting and insulating – within a single nano-device.
Quantum transport is an essential and challenging part of nanoscience, and understanding
its concepts and methods is vital to the essful design of devices at the nano-scale.
This textbook is prehensive introduction to the rapidly developing field of quan-
tum transport. The authors present prehensive 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 the reader’s under-
standing of the topics covered. Its broad scope and in-depth analysis of selected topics will
appeal to researchers and professionals working in nanoscience.
Yuli V. Nazarov is a theorist at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, Delft University of Tech-
nology. He obtained his . from the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1985,
and has worked in the field of quantum transport since the late 1980s.
Yaroslav M. Blanter is an Associate Professor in the Kavli Institute of Neuroscience, Delft
University of Technology. Previous to this, he was a Humboldt Fellow at the University of
Karlsruhe and a Senior Assistant at the University of Geneva.
