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 …

A quantum dot is a sub-micron-scale conducting device containing up to several thousand
electrons. Transport through a quantum dot at low temperatures is a quantum-coherent …

Evidence for the applicability of random-matrix theory to nuclear spectra is reviewed. In
analogy to systems with few degrees of freedom, one speaks of chaos (more accurately …

The application of random-matrix theory (RMT) to compound-nucleus (CN) reactions is
reviewed. An introduction into the basic concepts of nuclear scattering theory is followed by …

The aim of these lectures is to present a résumé of some of the main ideas, assumptions and
results of the Wigner-Dyson type random matrix theories (RMT) which are relevant in the …

The manner in which energy-level and strength fluctuations change as a good symmetry is
gradually broken is studied for a wide variety of chaotic systems describable in terms of …

We present experimental studies of the power spectrum and other fluctuation properties in
the spectra of microwave networks simulating chaotic quantum graphs with violated time …

In a frequency range where a microwave resonator simulates a chaotic quantum billiard, we
have measured moduli and phases of reflection and transmission amplitudes in the regimes …

The breaking of isospin symmetry influences the statistical spectral fluctuations
considerably, as shown by a recent experimental analysis of the low energy spectrum of 26 …

We report on an experimental investigation of the transition of a quantum system with
integrable classical dynamics to one with violated time-reversal (T) invariance and chaotic …
