Interview with Juan Maldacena
Interview with Juan Maldacena Juan Maldacena is one of the most influential theoretical physicists in the world. His work focuses on quantum gravity, string theory and quantum field theory and it involves different problems such as quark confinement and black holes. Back in 1997, he proposed the famous anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, which is
