Semiclassical calculation of time delay statistics in chaotic quantum scattering

Abstract

We present a semiclassical calculation, based on classical action correlations implemented by means of a matrix integral, of all moments of the Wigner--Smith time delay matrix, $Q$, in the context of quantum scattering through systems with chaotic dynamics. Our results are valid for broken time reversal symmetry and depend only on the classical dwell time and the number of open channels, $M$, which is arbitrary. Agreement with corresponding random matrix theory reduces to an identity involving some combinatorial concepts, which can be proved in special cases.
