The concepts of Wigner time delay and Wigner-Smith matrix allow to characterize temporal aspects of a quantum scattering process. The article reviews the statistical properties of the Wigner time delay for disordered systems; the case of disorder in 1D with a chiral symmetry is discussed and the relation with exponential functionals of the Brownian motion underlined. Another approach for the analysis of time delay statistics is the random matrix approach, from which we review few results. As a pratical illustration, we briefly outline a theory of nonlinear transport and AC transport developed by B\"uttiker and coworkers, where the concept of Wigner-Smith time delay matrix is a central piece allowing to describe screening properties in out-of-equilibrium coherent conductors.

  1. Distribution of the Wigner-Smith time-delay matrix for chaotic cavities with absorption and coupled Coulomb gases

    math-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper derives the exact distribution of the Wigner-Smith time-delay matrix for a chaotic cavity with arbitrary absorption and N channels, reducing large-N statistics to two coupled Coulomb gases.
