Abstract: Conformal bootstrap is a method for studying quantum field theories (QFTs) with conformal symmetry. It exploits conformal symmetry, unitarity, and crossing symmetry to constrain operator dimensions, operator product expansion coefficients, and correlation functions. Time permits, we also discuss the numerical methods employed in conformal bootstrapping and highlight their relevance in understanding critical behavior, classifying QFTs, and establishing connections to the AdS/CFT correspondence.
