Summary:The conductance of small electronic devices at low temperatures is affected by random quantum interference of a suprisingly universal character that can represent large fractional effects. Would-be designers of small quantum-effect devices should be prepared either to “fix it” by obtaining unprecedented control over the microscopic details of the device structure, or “feature it” by figuring out ways to take advantage of these interference effects.
