Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 206801 (2002) [4 pages]Semiclassical Theory of Chaotic Quantum TransportReceived 8 May 2002; published 24 October 2002 We present a refined semiclassical approach to the Landauer conductance and Kubo conductivity of clean chaotic mesoscopic systems. We demonstrate for systems with uniformly hyperbolic dynamics that including off-diagonal contributions to double sums over classical paths gives a weak-localization correction in quantitative agreement with results from random matrix theory. We further discuss the magnetic-field dependence. This semiclassical treatment accounts for current conservation. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
