Solving QFTs with Conformal Truncation

I will discuss recent work on using conformal Hamiltonian truncation methods to study strongly coupled QFTs. In this method, CFT data — the scaling dimensions and OPEs of local operators — is used to perform controlled, numerical computations in strongly coupled QFTs. I will discuss several applications of this method in 1+1 and 2+1 spacetime dimensions.
