Terence Tao described a modern proof of the prime number theorem in a lecture in UCLA, which is stated in wiki(enter link description here).

From wiki: In a lecture on prime numbers for a general audience, Fields medalist Terence Tao described one approach to proving the prime number theorem in poetic terms: listening to the "music" of the primes. We start with a "sound wave" that is "noisy" at the prime numbers and silent at other numbers; this is the von Mangoldt function. Then we analyze its notes or frequencies by subjecting it to a process akin to Fourier transform; this is the Mellin transform. Then we prove, and this is the hard part, that certain "notes" cannot occur in this music. This exclusion of certain notes leads to the statement of the prime number theorem. According to Tao, this proof yields much deeper insights into the distribution of the primes than the "elementary" proofs discussed below.

I wonder where can I find the proof? Anyone give me a reference?

    I think this is referring to, not necessarily [the paper of Riemann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Number_of_Primes_Less_Than_a_Given_Magnitude) but roughly the same but slightly simpler using von mangoldt instead the pi functions and so on..2012-11-11

    The only one I know is the one in Rudin's *Functional Analysis*, Part II. He did it as an application of distribution theory. Although he does not use Mellin transform, he uses Fourier transform and I think it is a 'modern' proof.2012-11-11

    @spernerslemma. Riemann's paper provides a proof of the prime number theorem?2012-11-12
