A bstract We study operators in Schrödinger invariant field theories (non-relativistic conformal field theories or NRCFTs) with large charge (particle number) and spin. Via the state-operator correspondence for NRCFTs, such operators correspond to states of a superfluid in a harmonic trap with phonons or vortices. Using the effective field theory of the Goldstone mode, we compute the dimensions of operators to leading order in the angular momentum L and charge Q . We find a diverse set of scaling behaviors for NRCFTs in both d = 2 and d = 3 spatial dimensions. These results apply to theories with a superfluid phase, such as unitary fermions or critical anyon systems.
