This talk will centered around the gauge/gravity duality, which has
origin in string theory but was found to be useful in the
physics of strongly interacting systems. We will describe the
challenges of understanding the quark gluon plasma and the strongly
interacting ultracold atoms, and how gauge/gravity duality may connect
them to the physics of black holes. I will also describe how
gauge/gravity duality has helped revealing the effects of quantum
anomalies in relativistic fluid mechanics.
