Description: 
In this course we aim to start with the basics of the random matrix theory and cover modern understanding of thermalization and ergodicity breaking in quantum systems. The presentation will be not rigorous by mathematical standards, but will rather follow physicist perspective. Time permitting, we will also touch upon recent research directions, such as random unitary circuits, quantum many-body scars, and others. The blackboard lectures will be supplemented by three problem sets.
