Abstract:
Quantum field theory is hard. It's especially hard when the interactions between particles become strong. I'll describe recent progress in understanding this issue, and show how various ideas from condensed matter physics, high energy physics, and string theory have converged to give us new and surprising insights into the behaviour of quantum fields.
