The AdS/CFT correspondence maps correlators of local operators in a conformal field theory to scat-tering amplitudes in a gravitational/string theory on curved space-time. The study of such ampli-tudes is incredibly hard and has mostly been done in a certain classical limit. We show how mod-ern analytic bootstrap techniques allows us to go much beyond that.
