Description

Using variational methods for QFT at strong coupling is an ancient dream with multiple concrete approaches. We discuss recent work on a particular approach, Lightcone Conformal Truncation, that uses lightcone quantization in infinite volume and a truncated Hilbert space motivated by the conformal symmetry of an ultraviolet fixed point at the upper end of an RG flow containing the QFT of interest.
