The Cardy formula is a key result in statistical mechanics and conformal field theory (CFT) that relates the entropy of a quantum system to the area of its boundary, particularly in the context of black hole thermodynamics and 2-dimensional conformal field theories. It provides a way to calculate the entropy of a system using the scaling dimensions of its primary fields.
