Holographic Duality in Condensed Matter Physics

Jan Zaanen is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Instituut-Lorentz for Theoretical Physics, Leiden University, the Netherlands where he specialises in the physics of strongly interacting electrons. He is a recipient of the Dutch Spinoza Award and fellow of the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society.

Yan Liu is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, where he specialises in high energy theoretical physics including gauge/gravity duality, AdS/CMT, three-dimensional gravity and string phenomenology.

Ya-Wen Sun is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, where she works on applications of AdS/CFT to condensed matter theory, QCD and hydrodynamics as well as other aspects of quantum gravity.

Koenraad Schalm is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Instituut-Lorentz for Theoretical Physics, Leiden University, the Netherlands. His research focuses on how string theory may be detected in laboratory experiment or cosmological observations. He is the recipient of Innovative Research Incentives Awards of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research.
