Description

I will present new numerical solutions to the Quantum Spectral Curve for AdS3xS3xT4 at pure RR-flux spanning for the first time from weak to strong coupling. At strong coupling this spectrum organises into string mass-levels with Kaluza-Klein fine-splitting at subleading order. I will discuss how these results match against classical folded string solutions in curved AdS space up to quantum corrections. Based on arXiv:2601.21992.
