Abstract
A popular method to include quantum effects into the calculation of the characteristics of submicron devices is based on the Wigner functions. The underlying idea is that quantum transport can be catched into generalized transport equations that are in the spirit of the Boltzmann transport equation, suitable extended with terms that represent quantum corrections.
