Hi folks: I have a question on dualities. Does anyone know of a QFT with a (conjectured) S-duality, such that the two classical theories corresponding to that QFT have very different Lagrangians? That is, such that the two classical theories that define the QFT cannot be expressed as essentially same Lagrangian but with the elementary and composite fields interchanged in each case?

I'd really appreciate an example -- or also to know if it isn't possible. Thanks!

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
