Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques

Scientific program
Developing reliable and efficient techniques for computations in strongly coupled QFT remains one of the critical challenges of modern theoretical physics. This workshop will be devoted to the Hamiltonian methods which remain relatively underexplored compared to the lattice field theory. The list of topics which we plan to discuss includes:
- Truncated spectrum approach
- Lightfront quantization
- Matrix product states and tensor networks
