Random matrices were first used by Wigner to understand the spectra of complex nuclei from a statistical perspective. Subsequently there have been novel applications to diverse areas, e.g., atomic and molecular physics, mesoscopic and nanoscopic systems, microwave cavities, econophysics, biological sciences, communication theory. This article is designed to be accessible at the graduate and post-doctoral level.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-25T13:31:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random matrix theory", "quantum chaotic systems", "post-doctoral level", "special focus", "quantum chaos" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
