Abstract
We have calculated the two-probe Landauer conductance of a one-channel quantum wire containing a Luttinger liquid and connected to two noninteracting leads through tunnel barriers. The tunneling conductance shows broad resonances as a function of the bias voltage, this being a manifestation of the spin-charge separation. In the limit of zero bias and zero barrier, the tunneling conductance reduces to the ballistic contact value per channel.
