Abstract

I will describe non-perturbative numerical methods for capturing QFT dynamics in real time. After a general introduction explaining these CFT based methods, I will describe some recent applications. Some of the applications will be to non-Lagrangian theories. These methods also allow for exploration of a new frontier high-energy QFT states. Such states may hold the key to understanding dynamical properties that lead to ergodicity and thermalization.
