Abstract

The method of QRT and its possible advantages over the other methods used to study quantum transport in mesoscopic systems are outlined. The problem of quantum diffraction is mentioned in the context of QRT. Preliminary results are shown for a T-shape Quantum Modulated translstor and a trumpet-shaped polygon.
