Description

We use general assumptions of the unknown UV theory to constrain the IR physics of photons. Specifically, we can consider causality and unitarity of the S-matrix to set up a bootstrap problem. By solving it with numerical optimisation methods, we obtain the allowed EFT coefficients which are consistent with a unitary and causal UV completion.
