Synopsis

This book presents the statistical theory of complex wave scattering and quantum transport in classically chaotic and disordered systems. The novel approach is a maximum-entropy viewpoint, which reveals the statistical regularity of the phenomena in a natural way. The book contains many worked-through exercises
