“
"A Prime Case of Chaos" is an article from Volume 4 of What's
Happening in the Mathematical Sciences by Barry Cipra,
published by the AMS. This article describes conjectural links between the
Riemann zeta function, which is intimately related with prime numbers, and
chaotic quantum-mechanical systems. Mathematicians have been studying the
zeta function since the time of Riemann, in the 19th century, while quantum
mechanics is a development of 20th century physics. Both of these areas,
independently, as well as the hypothesized connection between the two, are
topics of intense current research.” source...
