A new study by Kohei Kawabata of Princeton University and colleagues has taken an important step toward developing such a general framework by offering a complete classification of these systems based on symmetry principles [1] (Fig. 1).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new symmetry-based classification could help researchers describe open, many-body quantum systems that display quantum chaos.
