Quantum field theory methods applied to quantum wires

Sumathi Rao
Abstract: 

We show how bosonisation coupled with renormalisation group analyses are useful tools in the study of real quantum (one-dimensional) wires. We use these methods to explain some recent experiments in quantum wires. We also study the fixed point behaviour when several quantum wires meet at a point, and make predictions for conductances, which can be experimentally tested.
