Abstract given by the source: Strange metal is the mysterious phase of quantum matter observed in high temperature superconductors which shows features in striking contradiction to the intuition one gets from the conventional theory of metals. It is customary to relate this fact to the long-range entanglement and strong correlations, which thwarts the development of perturbation theory and definition of long-lived quasiparticles.Surprisingly it has been shown in the framework of AdS/CFT correspondence that many features of the strange metal are in one-to-one correspondence with the features of the seemingly unrelated system: a black hole in an auxiliary hyperbolic space.Baffling as it may sound, several experiments in recent years have nevertheless accumulated evidence that in a number of ways these auxiliary black holes do manifest themselves in a real world strange metals behavior.The mysteries of high Tc superconductors go far beyond the strange metal conundrum and the question arises, whether there exists a dual black hole description to the plethora of ordered states, which arise at low temperature. In this project, I will construct these black holes of unprecedented complexity. By combination of the state-of-the-art numerical methods and analytical tools I will study their phenomenology and elucidate the signatures they leave in the observed data. Comparison with the experiments will make a verdict, whether these are indeed the peculiar black holes, which people observe in Condensed Matter labs.
