The grand potential $\\Omega$ and the response $R = – \\partial \\Omega /\\partial x$ of a phase-coherent confined noninteracting electron gas depend sensitively on chemical potential $\\mu$ or external parameter $x$. We compute their autocorrelation as a function of $\\mu$, $x$ and temperature. The result is related to the short-time dynamics of the corresponding classical system, implying in general the absence of a universal regime. Chaotic, diffusive and integrable motions are investigated, and illustrated numerically. The autocorrelation of the persistent current of a disordered mesoscopic ring is also computed.
