The Hilbert-Polya approach to the Riemann hypothesis follows this path, by attempting to relate the zeroes of the Riemann zeta function to a quantum mechanical scattering problem. The probability distribution of the energy levels of a chaotic quantum system with broken time-reversal symmetry is conjectured to describe the local statistics of the zeta-function zeroes, see for example Physics of the Riemann Hypothesis.
