Symmetry is evident in many forms from ancient architecture to classical art; however, not as obvious is the mathematical theory of symmetry behind modern applications, such as Rubik's Cube, the art of M.C. Escher, and the security of financial transactions on the Internet. These three topics are not as unrelated as they may initially seem to be...

Eugene Wigner has envisioned that the distributions of the eigenvalues of large Gaussian random matrices are new paradigms for universal statistics of large correlated quantum systems. These random matrix eigenvalues statistics supposedly occur together with delocalized eigenstates. In this lecture, I will explain recent developments proving thi...
