Quantum physics and Einstein's theory of general relativity are the foundations of modern physics. The relationship between these two theories remains a central question in theoretical physics. In recent decades, efforts to answer this question have led to the emergence of new physical ideas and mathematical tools. Holography is one such concept that has connected string theory in certain space-times with corresponding field theories (conformal) on a lower-dimensional space-time, allowing for a deeper understanding of quantum gravity, cosmology, particle physics, condensed matter systems, and disordered systems. String theory has also provided new insights into many mathematical problems in many areas.
