In theoretical physics, the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence is a conjectured relationship between two kinds of physical theories. On one side are anti-de Sitter spaces that are us
A hologram is a two-dimensional image that stores information about all three dimensions of the object it represents. The two images here are photographs of a single hologram taken from different angles.
A magnet levitating above a high-temperature superconductor. Today some physicists are working to understand high-temperature superconductivity using the AdS/CFT correspondence.
Gerard 't Hooft obtained results related to the AdS/CFT correspondence in the 1970s by studying analogies between string theory and nuclear physics.
Stephen Hawking predicted in 1975 that black holes emit radiation due to quantum effects.
