Abstract
In the first part of the talk, we'll give an overview of the Riemann zeta function and its connection to the distribution of primes, with a focus on the explicit formula (a prototype of the "trace formula").
Then, we will discuss a "physical" reason that would explain the Riemann Hypothesis: the appearance of the Riemann zeta zeros in quantum chaos and in random matrix theory.
