About

Hamiltonian truncation is a nonperturbative numerical method for calculating observables of a quantum field theory by truncating the Hilbert space to states with energy below a maximum energy cutoff. In this talk I will provide an overview of effective field theory techniques applied to Hamiltonian truncation calculations, focusing on improving convergence and handling marginal interactions in a 2d example system.
