A coherent RC circuit

TL;DR: This study studied the ac conductance of a model quantum conductor and observed a counterintuitive behavior of a quantum origin: as the transmission of the single conducting mode decreases, the resistance of the quantum RC circuit remains constant while the capacitance oscillates.
