abstract
We both review and augment the lightcone conformal truncation (LCT) method. LCT is a Hamiltonian truncation method for calculating dynamical quantities in QFT in infinite volume. This document is a self-contained, pedagogical introduction and "how-to" manual for LCT. We focus on 2D QFTs which have UV descriptions as free CFTs containing scalars, fermions, and gauge fields, providing a rich starting arena for LCT applications. Along our way, we develop several new techniques and innovations that greatly enhance the efficiency and applicability of LCT. These include the development of CFT radial quantization methods for computing Hamiltonian matrix elements and a new SUSY-inspired way of avoiding state-dependent counterterms and maintaining chiral symmetry. We walk readers through the construction of their own basic LCT code, sufficient for small truncation cutoffs. We also provide a more sophisticated and comprehensive set of Mathematica packages and demonstrations that can be used to study a variety of 2D models. We guide the reader through these packages with several examples and illustrate how to obtain QFT observables, such as spectral densities and the Zamolodchikov $C$-function. Specific models considered are finite $N_c$ QCD, scalar $\phi^4$ theory, and Yukawa theory.

Do null defects dream of conformal symmetry?
Null line defects preserve a large conformal algebra that constrains their correlators to shockwave-plane discontinuities, and a restricted test-function space resolves the ill-defined ultraboosted gauge potential.

Toolkit for General 2d Scalar Potential in LCT
An efficient LCT toolkit confirms the sinh-Gordon self-duality and reproduces the sine-Gordon spectrum, c-function, and free fermion limit with high precision.

Higher-order structure of Hamiltonian truncation effective theory
All-order local and O(Emax⁻⁴) non-local corrections are derived for Hamiltonian truncation effective theory of 2D λφ⁴; numerically, NNLO barely improves on NLO.

Hamiltonian Truncation of Large $N_f$ QED and Large $N$ Vector-like Theories in $d=2+1$

Systematic Improvement of Hamiltonian Truncation Effective Theory
NLO matching corrections with nonlocal terms are computed for 1+1D λφ⁴ Hamiltonian truncation, and the eigenvalue error is shown to scale as 1/Emax⁴, confirming the effective theory power counting.
