We present a direct Monte Carlo determination of the scaling dimension of a topological defect operator in the infrared fixed point of a three-dimensional interacting quantum field theory. For this, we compute the free energy to introduce the background gauge field of the Q = 1 monopole-antimonopole pair in three-dimensional noncompact QED with N = 2, 4 and 12 flavors of massless two-component fermions, and study its asymptotic logarithmic dependence on the monopole-antimonopole separation. We estimate the scaling dimension in the N = 12 case to be consistent with the large-N (free fermion) value. We find the deviations from this large-N value for N = 2 and 4 are positive but small, implying that the higher-order corrections in the large-N expansion become mildly important for N = 2, 4.
