CFT
Type: Concept
As of November 2026, CFT has been mentioned in 2 episodes across 2 podcasts, first heard Jan 2026 on Institute for Advanced Study. Abbreviation for conformal field theories, central to the discussion on quantum systems and their behaviors.
A conformal field theory (CFT) is a quantum field theory that is invariant under conformal transformations. In two dimensions, there is an infinite-dimensional algebra of local conformal transformations, and conformal field theories can sometimes be exactly solved or classified.
