A large number of 3D CFT dualities have been recently conjectured. The most surprising one equates a theory of strongly interacting charged bosons to a free Dirac fermion. Although this duality can be used as a "seed" to prove the various other dualities, the seed duality itself has resisted attempts at an analytical proof. I will present two promising numerical methods to verify this duality, and discuss how these methods can also be applied to study strongly interacting infrared fixed points.
