Conference/School

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

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

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

This course is part of the 2026 Undergraduate Summer School curriculum. More details coming soon.

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

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

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

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

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

Cosmology is at a crossroad. Are the rising observational tensions harbingers of doom for our beloved LCDM paradigm? Is the young field of gravitational wave astronomy about to revolutionize our understanding of black holes, and their cosmic dynamics? What is the best explanation of the early

Holomorphic-topological field theories and representation theory Holomorphic-topological (HT) field theories form a fascinating class of quantum field theories. These theories combine features of topological quantum field theories (TQFT) and conformal field theories (CFT). Due to the mixed

In July 1925, Heisenberg published his paper on matrix mechanics, followed shortly thereafter (in early 1926) by Schrodinger’s paper on wave mechanics. As such, 2025 is the centenary of the modern quantum theory. This conference aims to bring together experts in the history and philosophy of quantum
