Abstract

We study classical and quantum scattering in periodically driven mesoscopic electronic devices. The ac-driven square potential well, a prototypical example, is shown to be a chaotic scatterer. Quantum transport in the nonlinear regime of strong driving is investigated in the Floquet framework. In the deep quantum regime, scattering into and out of bound states of an effective potential ...
