Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 2442–2445 (1990)Conductance fluctuations in the ballistic regime: A probe of quantum chaos?Received 26 June 1990; published in the issue dated 5 November 1990 We demonstrate the existence of resistance fluctuations in experimentally realizable ballistic conductors due to scattering from geometric features. The magnetic-field and energy correlation functions are calculated both semiclassically and exactly numerically, and are found to have a scale determined by the underlying chaotic classical scattering. These systems provide a test of the ‘‘random’’ quantum behavior of classically chaotic systems. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
