| dc.description | We numerically investigate classical and quantum transport through a soft-wall cavity with mixed dynamics. Remarkable differences to hard-wall quantum dots are found which are, in part, related to the influence of the hierarchical structure of classical phase space on features of quantum scattering through the device. We find narrow isolated transmission resonances which display asymmetric Fano line shapes. The dependence of the resonance parameters on the lead mode numbers and on the properties of scattering eigenstates are analyzed. Their interpretation is aided by a remarkably close classical-quantum correspondence. We also searched for fractal conductance fluctuations. For the range of wave numbers $k_F$ accessible by our simulation we can rule out their existence. | |
