Gauge-gravity duality has created new links between gravity and quantum theory. It has also provided EU-funded scientists with powerful tools to deepen our current understanding of hydrodynamics.
Over the past years, theoretical ideas from the abstract world of geometrical forms have been introduced to the realm of experimental condensed matter physics. The Anti-de Sitter / conformal field theory (ADS/CFT) correspondence or gauge-gravity duality, coming from notions of string theory is behind this crossover.
