abstract

We propose a variational method for identifying lattice operators in a critical quantum spin chain with scaling operators in the underlying conformal field theory (CFT). In particular, this allows us to build a lattice version of the primary operators of the CFT, from which we can numerically estimate the operator product expansion coefficients $C_{\alpha\beta\gamma}^{\textrm{ CFT}}$. We demonstrate the approach with the critical Ising quantum spin chain.

    Chiral edge codes have local-erasure robustness governed by power-law exponents with hierarchy γ≥α≥min{α,β}, so the 2D code is at least as robust as its 1D CFT reduction.
