Though not fully macroscopic, such <i>mesoscopic</i> systems contain a huge number of particles, and the holistic nature of quantum mechanics becomes evident already in simple electronic measurements. The measured quantity fluctuates as a function of applied fields in an unpredictable, yet reproducible way. Despite this fingerprint character of fluctuations, their statistical properties are univerWorld Scientific lecture notes in physics ;v. 64.Fluctuations (Physics)Quantum theoryMesoscopic phenomena (Physics)Fluctuations (Physics)Quantum theory.Mesoscopic phenomena (Physics)530.41Janssen M(Martin)803032MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782277503321Fluctuations and localization in mesoscopic electron systems3719604UNINA
