title: Ehrenfest-time dependence of weak localization in open quantum dots.
abstract: Semiclassical theory predicts that the weak localization correction to the conductance of a ballistic chaotic cavity is suppressed if the Ehrenfest time exceeds the dwell time in the cavity [I. L. Aleiner and A. I. Larkin, Phys. Rev. B 54, 14423 (1996)]. We report numerical simulations of weak localization in the open quantum kicked rotator that confirm this prediction. Our results disagree with the "effective random matrix theory" of transport through ballistic chaotic cavities.
