landauer büttiker formalism

What is the Role of Quantum Coherence?

Quantum coherence plays a crucial role in the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. In nanoscale systems, electrons exhibit wave-like properties, leading to quantum interference effects. These effects can either enhance or suppress the transmission probabilities, thus directly affecting the conductance. The formalism takes into account these quantum interference effects, providing a more accurate description of electronic transport at the nanoscale.
