Research Highlights:
Our recent studies concern a "resistor network" theory for the energy absorption of weakly chaotic systems.
Applications: the heating of cold atoms in vibrating traps; the conductance of closed mesoscopic rings.
Another major line of study concerns quantum stirring of particles in such
(closed) devices by means of "quantum pumping". The links below contain one-paragraph descriptions of some highlights.
