This paper demonstrates the application of semidefinite programming to lattice field theories, showcasing spin chains and lattice scalar field theory. Requiring expectation values of manifestly positive semi-definite operators to be non-negative results in a lower bound on the ground-state energy of any quantum mechanical system, which can be made arbitrarily tight for systems described by finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Such bounds can be obtained directly in the infinite-volume limit. The process of optimizing these lower bounds also yields estimates for a chosen set of expectation values in the ground state.
