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 …

VV Flambaum, FM Izrailev - Physical Review E, 2001‏ - APS
Highly excited many-particle states in quantum systems such as nuclei, atoms, quantum
dots, spin systems, quantum computers, etc., can be considered as “chaotic” superpositions …

Correlations within eigenvectors and transition amplitudes in the two-body random interaction model

VV Flambaum, GF Gribakin, FM Izrailev - Physical Review E, 1996‏ - APS
It is shown that the two-body character of the interaction in a many-body system gives rise to
specific correlations between the components of compound states, even if this interaction is …
