What are the Ishibashi states and Cardy states in CFTs? I am familiar with conformal field theory language. It would be great if someone can discuss about the basic idea of these states and their applications.

Since you are familiar with CFT, there are many good introductory articles available on this topic online, for example arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0411189 written by John Cardy.

@Meng Cheng , I looked at that. Can you or someone else make the basic picture clear.. Then it will be easier for me to follow Cardy's article. Thanks a lot for the reply!
