Quantum transport is a diverse field, sometimes combining seemingly contradicting concepts - quantum and classical, conduction and insulating - within a single nanodevice. Quantum transport is an essential and challenging part of nanoscience, and understanding its concepts and methods is vital to the successful fabrication of devices at the nanoscale. This textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the rapidly developing field of quantum transport. The authors present the comprehensive theoretical background, and explore the groundbreaking experiments that laid the foundations of the field. Ideal for graduate students, each section contains control questions and exercises to check readers' understanding of the topics covered. Its broad scope and in-depth analysis of selected topics will appeal to researchers and professionals working in nanoscience.

'… comprehensive and … accessible to advanced undergraduate students … experimentalists will find value in the book … it successfully relates the theoretical concepts to physical examples. I warmly recommend Quantum Transport to lecturers and students interested in the subject … Additionally, the text facilitates self-study through integrated questions that allow readers to check their understanding of the material … has the potential to become a standard reference in the field.'
