Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 3468–3471 (1992)Statistical theory of Coulomb blockade oscillations: Quantum chaos in quantum dotsReceived 31 January 1992; published in the issue dated 8 June 1992 We develop a statistical theory of the amplitude of Coulomb blockade oscillations in semiconductor quantum dots based on the hypothesis that chaotic dynamics in the dot potential leads to behavior described by random-matrix theory. Breaking time-reversal symmetry is predicted to cause an experimentally observable change in the distribution of amplitudes. The theory is tested numerically and good agreement is found. © 1992 The American Physical Society URL:
