Abstract
We present a short comprehensive review that elucidates the relation between electronic states in quantum-dots and transport therein. We begin with energy levels in integrable and generic chaotic dots and discuss their statistics. Next, we consider electronic states in the dots and explain the role of interactions. As far as transport is concerned, the most important interaction is the charging energy responsible for Coulomb blockade of tunneling. The transport is usually dominated by single-electron processes that are discussed in detail. We also review more exotic transport processes: resonant tunneling and co-tunneling.
