Despite several experiments on chaotic quantum transport in two-dimensional systems such as semiconductor
quantum dots, corresponding quantum simulations within a real-space model have been out of reach so far.
Here we carry out quantum transport calculations in real space and real time for a two-dimensional stadium
cavity that shows chaotic dynamics. By applying a large set of magnetic fields we obtain a complete picture
of magnetoconductance that indicates fractal scaling. In the calculations of the fractality we use detrended
fluctuation analysis—a widely used method in time-series analysis—and show its usefulness in the interpretation
of the conductance curves. Comparison with a standard method to extract the fractal dimension leads to consistent
results that in turn qualitatively agree with the previous experimental data.
