We present a multichannel scattering technique which can be applied to calculate the transport properties for realistic systems, and show how it is related to other methods that are useful in particular cases. We apply our technique to describe recent experiments on the conductance through molecular junctions.LaTeX, 12 pages, 3 figuresMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsMaterials Sciencetext
