The holographic duality (also known as AdS/CFT correspondence or gauge/gravity duality) postulates that strongly coupled quantum field theories can be described in a dual way in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. One of the cornerstones of this duality is the description of thermal states as black holes with asymptotically anti-de Sitter boundary conditions. This idea has led to valuable insights into fields such as transport theory and relativistic hydrodynamics. In this context, the quasinormal modes of such black holes play a decisive role, and therefore their stability properties are of utmost interest for the holographic duality. We review recent results using the method of pseudospectra.
