Abstract
Physical systems at finite temperature present a rich array of intriguing questions. However, studying their physical observables is not always straightforward, as it a priori requires tracing over the entire state space. In this talk, we explore how the bootstrap approach of imposing consistency conditions provides a powerful framework for studying finite temperature observables in both statistical and quantum mechanical systems. We focus on two prototypical examples to illustrate this idea: the statistical Ising model on the lattice and large N ungauged matrix quantum mechanics.
