Description
The Anti-de-Sitter/Condensed Matter Theory pursuit has been
all long energized by the potentiality that the mathematical
insights of holography can shed light on the grand mysteries
that have been uncovered during the last thirty years in the
condensed matter laboratories. Although the interest and
sympathy for holography is rising in the condensed matter
community, it is still waiting for a killer application.
Arguably, the ball is now in the experimentalist’s court:
holography has delivered a number of sharp and unusual
questions, but in order to address these in the lab quite
unusual (and expensive) experiments are required. I will
review the situation, hopefully inspiring other
holographist’s to come up with more and better ideas.
