Juan Maldacena

A man with dark hair and glasses, wearing a light blue shirt and a dark vest, smiles slightly while looking directly at the camera.

Argentine theoretical physicist born 1968, at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His 1997 conjecture relating string theory in anti-de-Sitter space to a conformal field theory on its boundary reshaped quantum gravity research. With Leonard Susskind he later proposed ER=EPR, the speculative idea that entangled particles are connected by Einstein-Rosen wormholes.
