The Taylor expansion approach to the equation of state of QCD at finite chemical potential struggles to reach large chemical potential μB. This is primarily due to the intrinsic diffculty in precisely determining higher order Taylor coefficients, as well as the structure of the temperature dependence of such observables. In these proceedings, we illustrate a novel scheme [1] that allows us to extrapolate the equation of state of QCD without suffering from the poor convergence typical of the Taylor expansion approach. We continuum extrapolate the coefficients of our new expansion scheme and show the thermodynamic observables up to μB/T ≤ 3.5.
