http://www.math.purdue.edu/~branges/

The proof (not yet peer reviewed) is related to quaternions, and
p-adic numbers. The Riemann Hypothesis is related to certain problems
in semiclassical quantum mechanics; see

http://www.maths.ex.ac.uk/~mwatkins/\zeta/physics1.htm

The proof of the Riemann hypothesis was one of the Clay Millenium problems.
Another one (still unsolved) is about the existence proof of Quantum
Yang-Mills field theories. See

www.claymath.org/Millennium_Prize_Problems/Yang-Mills_Theory/_objects/Official_Problem_Description.pdf

and 'Is there a rigorous interacting QFT in 4 dimensions?' from
the theoretical physics FAQ

There was recently an entry in Peter Woit's blog,
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/blog/
about de Branges and the Riemann Hypothesis.
