Wigner's surmise refers to a statistical conjecture related to the eigenvalues of random matrices, particularly in the context of quantum mechanics and nuclear physics. It was proposed by the physicist Eugene Wigner in the mid-20th century as a way to describe the distribution of energy levels in complex quantum systems, especially in heavy nuclei.
