The holographic principle, theorized to be a property of quantum gravity, postulates that the description of a volume of space can be encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary. The anti-de Sitter (AdS)/conformal field theory correspondence or duality is the principal example of holography. The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model of N ≫ 1 Majorana fermions has features suggesting the existence of a gravitational dual in AdS, and is a new realization of holography.

Scanning Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) Susceptometry simultaneously images the local magnetic fields and susceptibilities above a sample with sub-micron spatial resolution. Further development of this technique requires a thorough understanding of the current, voltage, and flux ( I V Φ ) characteristics of scanning SQUID susceptometers. These sensors often have striking anomalies in their current-voltage characteristics, which we believe to be due to electromagnetic resonances.
