This is a comprehensive review of the random-matrix approach to the theory ofphase-coherent conduction in mesocopic systems. The theory is applied to avariety of physical phenomena in quantum dots and disordered wires, includinguniversal conductance fluctuations, weak localization, Coulomb blockade,sub-Poissonian shot noise, reflectionless tunneling into a superconductor, andgiant conductance oscillations in a Josephson junction.Comment: 85 pages including 52 figures, to be published in Rev.Mod.Phy
