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

The annual Graduate Students’ Conference showcases the diverse research directions at Perimeter Institute, both organized and presented by the students. Our graduate students are invited to share their best work with their fellow PhD students, PSI students and other PI residents interested in

Year of Quantum Across Canada: From Fundamental Science to Applications The Institute for Quantum Computing and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics will jointly host a meeting celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of quantum mechanics. The conference will celebrate and

Since its founding, training has been a cornerstone of Perimeter Institute’s mission. Over the years, we have supported nearly 1,000 postdoctoral researchers and graduate students along their academic journeys. Many have gone on to make remarkable contributions in academia and industry, while others

Charting the Future Symposium: Big questions in particle physics, strong gravity, and cosmology over the next 25 years Join us for a special symposium celebrating Perimeter’s 25th anniversary. This event offers a unique opportunity to unite Perimeter alumni and friends in the fields of cosmology

In the past three decades, one of the most transformative insights in cosmology has been the realisation that the formation and evolution processes of cosmic structures such as supermassive black-holes, galaxies and clusters are deeply interconnected with the vast cosmic web that underpins the

QIQG 2025: Quantum Information in Quantum Gravity QIQG 2025: Quantum Information In Quantum Gravity will unite researchers working at the intersection of quantum information theory and quantum gravity, to exchange insights and showcase recent developments bridging these fields. As part of the

What is time? Is it fundamental or emergent? This question lies at the foundation of contemporary physics and provides a key to unlocking some of its most challenging open problems, from quantum gravity to cosmology. The quest to understand time extends beyond the realm of physics, providing a

This 5-day program will explore the intersection of AI and fundamental theoretical physics. The event will feature two components, a symposium and a workshop, centered around two complementary themes: AI for theoretical physics and theoretical physics for AI. The program will begin on April 7 and 8

As Perimeter enters its 25th year, we invite you to imagine what theoretical physics research will look like 25 years from now. On April 7 and 8, Perimeter will be hosting a symposium with speakers and panel discussions focusing on the promise of AI to accelerate progress in theoretical physics
