Black Hole Information, June 22 - June 26
This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum. More details coming soon. -
Discrete Structures in Perturbative Quantum Field Theory, June 22 - June 26
This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum. We will explore some of the interesting combinatorial and algebraic structures in perturbative quantum field theory and look at how they can be helpful for quantum field theory calculations as well as how they tie to topics of -
Introduction to Loop Quantum Cosmology, June 22 - June 24
This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum. This course will provide a short introduction to loop quantum cosmology. After a brief overview of the physics and geometry underlying cosmology, we will explore how it is possible to obtain a quantum description of cosmology -
The Conceptual and Mathematical Structure of Quantum Theory, June 22 - June 25
This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum and about the Foundations of Quantum Theory. We will look at simple thought experiments that raise interesting conceptual issues concerning quantum superposition and quantum entanglement. We will consider some of the main -
Dark Matter, June 15 - June 19
This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum. This four-lecture course traces dark matter from the evidence that it must exist (Bullet Cluster, CMB, galactic rotation curves) through the two leading models — heavy thermal relics protected by a symmetry (WIMPs) and -
Cosmology, June 15 - June 19
This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum. This course is an introduction to basic cosmology based on Einstein’s theory of gravity (general relativity), to the modern ΛCDM model of the universe and its limitations, and to dark energy. The last lecture is non-standard and -
Studying Quantum Many-Body Systems with Artificial Neural Networks, June 15 - June 19
This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum. This course introduces modern artificial neural network architectures and explores how they can be used to study quantum many-body systems as key models underlying quantum computation and condensed matter physics. Students will -
Advancing Field-level and Simulation-based Inference for Cosmology
Field-level inference has recently emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional summary-statistic approaches in the analysis of cosmological data sets. This technique exploits the full information content of data from the cosmic microwave background, galaxy redshift surveys, and forthcoming -
Physics of Quantum Information II
The dialogue between quantum information and quantum matter has fostered notable progress in both fields. Quantum information science has revolutionized our understanding of the structure of quantum many-body systems and novel forms of out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics. The advances of quantum -
Non-local quantum computation mini-course, May 4-15, 2026
Non-local quantum computation (NLQC) is a subject within quantum information theory. NLQC considers, in a certain setting, with how local interactions can be simulated with distributed entanglement plus communication. NLQC has recently become well connected to several other areas, including -
Time, Causality, and the Structure of Quantum Theory Mini-Course, Apr 21 - May 13, 2026
This course will cover the basics from my book, https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.12076. It is about operational probabilistic theories. The standard approach in such theories is, implicitly, from a time forward perspective. On the other hand, we will mostly take a time symmetric perspective. The course -
Quantum Matter (Elective), PHYS 777, March 30 - May 1 2026
This course introduces key concepts in modern quantum matter, including spontaneous symmetry breaking, topological phases, and quantum criticality, illustrated through simple and instructive examples.
