Conformal Field Theory and Modern Numerical Approach to Condensed Matter Physics

Conformal field theory (CFT) in 1+1 dimensions is a powerful framework to investigate critical phenomena. Recent developments of  advanced numerical algorithms, especially tensor-network based methods, have enabled very accurate verifications of CFT predictions. They can be also combined with CFT to improve the numerical estimates. In this talk, I will review some of the applications of bulk and boundary CFT to interesting problems in condensed matter or statistical physics, and recent developments. Examples include the conduction across a junction of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids, and an extremely precise determination of the transition temperature for the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
