Random-matrix theories in quantum physics: common concepts

T Guhr, A Müller–Groeling, HA Weidenmüller - Physics Reports, 1998 - Elsevier
We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last fifteen years. We
emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of …

Quantum graphs: Applications to quantum chaos and universal spectral statistics

S Gnutzmann∥, U Smilansky - Advances in Physics, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
During the last few years quantum graphs have become a paradigm of quantum chaos with
applications from spectral statistics to chaotic scattering and wavefunction statistics. In the …

Nonstandard symmetry classes in mesoscopic normal-superconducting hybrid structures

A Altland, MR Zirnbauer - Physical Review B, 1997 - APS
Normal-conducting mesoscopic systems in contact with a superconductor are classified by
the symmetry operations of time reversal and rotation of the electron's spin. Four symmetry …

Maximum entropy approach for modeling random uncertainties in transient elastodynamics

C Soize - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
A new approach is presented for analyzing random uncertainties in dynamical systems. This
approach consists of modeling random uncertainties by a nonparametric model allowing …

Non-hermitian random matrix theory: Method of hermitian reduction

J Feinberg, A Zee - Nuclear Physics B, 1997 - Elsevier
We consider random non-hermitian matrices in the large-N limit. The power of analytic
function theory cannot be brought to bear directly to analyze non-hermitian random matrices …

The Riemann–Hilbert approach to strong asymptotics for orthogonal polynomials on [− 1, 1]

ABJ Kuijlaars, KTR McLaughlin, W Van Assche… - Advances in …, 2004 - Elsevier
We consider polynomials that are orthogonal on [− 1, 1] with respect to a modified Jacobi
weight (1− x) α (1+ x) βh (x), with α, β>− 1 and h real analytic and strictly positive on [− 1, 1] …

Random matrices: The distribution of the smallest singular values

T Tao, V Vu - Geometric And Functional Analysis, 2010 - Springer
Let ξ be a real-valued random variable of mean zero and variance 1. Let M n (ξ) denote the
n× n random matrix whose entries are iid copies of ξ and σ n (M n (ξ)) denote the least …

Topological phases and delocalization of quantum walks in random environments

H Obuse, N Kawakami - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2011 - APS
We investigate one-dimensional (1D) discrete-time quantum walks (QWs) with spatially or
temporally random defects as a consequence of interactions with random environments. We …

Random covariance matrices: Universality of local statistics of eigenvalues

T Tao, V Vu - 2012 - projecteuclid.org
We study the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix 1/n M∗ M of a large rectangular matrix
M= M n, p=(ζ ij) 1≤ i≤ p; 1≤ j≤ n whose entries are iid random variables of mean zero …

Non-Gaussian non-Hermitian random matrix theory: phase transition and addition formalism

J Feinberg, A Zee - Nuclear Physics B, 1997 - Elsevier
We apply the recently introduced method of hermitization to study in the large N limit non-
hermitian random matrices that are drawn from a large class of circularly symmetric non …
