Many open questions in Theoretical Physics pertain to strongly
interacting quantum systems such as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)
produced in heavy-ion collisions or the strange-metal phase
observed in many high-temperature superconductors. These systems
are notoriously difficult to study using traditional methods such
as perturbation theory, but the gauge/gravity duality offers a
successful alternative approach, which maps strongly interacting
quantum gauge theories to computationally tractable, classical
gravity theories. This book begins with a pedagogical introduction
to how the duality can be used to extract transport properties of
quantum systems from their gravity dual. It then presents new
results on hydrodynamic transport in strongly interacting quantum
fluids, providing strong evidence that the Haack-Yarom identity
between second-order transport coefficients holds for all fluids
with a classical gravity dual and may be a universal feature of all
strongly coupled quantum fluids such as the QGP. Newly derived Kubo
formulae, expressing transport coefficients in terms of quantum
correlators, hold independently of the duality. Lastly, the book
discusses new results on magnetic impurities in strongly correlated
metals, including the first dual gravity description of an
inter-impurity coupling, crucial for the quantum criticality
underlying the strange-metal phase.
