Abstract
We analyze a simple model of quantum chaotic scattering system, namely the quantized open baker’s map. This model provides a numerical confirmation of the fractal Weyl law for the semiclassical density of quantum resonances. The fractal exponent is related to the dimension of the classical repeller. We also consider a variant of this model, for which the full resonance spectrum can be rigorously computed, and satisfies the fractal Weyl law. For that model, we also compute the shot noise of the conductance through the system, and obtain a value close to the prediction of random matrix theory.
