Abstract

Within random matrix theory for quantum dots, both the dot’s one-particle eigenlevels and the dot-lead couplings are statistically distributed. While the effect of the latter on the conductance is obvious and has been taken into account in the literature, the statistical distribution of the one-particle eigenlevels is generally replaced by a picket-fence spectrum. Here we take the random matrix theory eigenlevel distribution explicitly into account, and observe significant deviations in the conductance distribution and magnetoconductance of closed quantum dots at experimentally relevant temperatures.
