Abstract
At low enough temperatures the electrical transport properties of small conductors exhibit a rich variety of quantum phenomena due to the suppression of inelastic, phase randomizing scattering. They are related to finite size quantization, and to the coherence of the electron states throughout the whole sample. For the theoretical description of these mesoscopic effects one needs 1. information about the single particle quantum states in finite, but not atomic(!), systems in the presence of disorder, 2. a suitable transport theory that includes the effect of contacts and leads, and 3. information about the influence of interactions on the states, and on the transport processes.
