Conclusions
• Universal transport in wires near the superconductor-metal transition
• Theory includes contributions from thermal and quantum phase slips ---- reduces to the classical LAMH theory at high temperatures
• Sensitivity to leads should be a generic feature of the ``coherent’’ transport regime of quantum critical points.
