A Tie to Quantum Physics

Tantalizingly Close

It seems we might be on the brink of solving the Riemann Hypothesis. In recent years, there has been strong evidence that the Riemann zeros correspond to the energy levels of a quantum mechanical system. This physical model dealing with subatomic particles like electrons and quarks could be the key to unlocking the Riemann Hypothesis!

Physics and Math Intertwined

If this link was firmly established, we would not only have a nice map of the prime numbers, but we could also use the tie to improve our understanding of the energy of subatomic particles.

More Applications!

All of this newly acquired knowledge would also give us a way to model chaotically bouncing light and sound waves. Potential applications include improving microwaves, fibre optics, and the acoustics of concert halls.
