Scientific Machine Learning (Elective), PHYS 777, February 23 - March 27, 2026
This course introduces Scientific Machine Learning, beginning with an overview of traditional and modern machine learning methods illustrated with examples from physics. It then transitions to physics-informed approaches, where physical laws, symmetries, and mechanistic models are embedded into -
Quantum Measurement and Continuous Markov Processes Mini-Course, Oct 27 - Dec 11, 2025
This series is a crash course introduction to a handful of advanced topics designed to tackle the general problem of how to engineer Positive Operator-Valued Measures (POVMs) using observable building blocks, the so-called Instrument Manifold Program. This program emerged from a recent fundamental -
Perimeter Graduate Conference 2025
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 -
Statistical Physics (Core), PHYS 602, October 8 - November 7, 2025
The aim of this course is to explore the main ideas of the statistical physics approach to critical phenomena. We will discuss phase transitions, using the ferromagnetic phase transition and the Ising model as our primary example. The renormalisation group approach will be an important part of this -
Classical Physics (Core), PHYS 612, September 2 - October 7, 2025
This is a theoretical physics course that aims to review the basics of theoretical mechanics, special relativity, and classical field theory, with the emphasis on geometrical notions and relativistic formalism, thus setting the stage for the forthcoming courses in Quantum Mechanics, and Quantum -
Machine Learning (Elective), PHYS 777, February 24 - March 28, 2025
Machine learning has become a very valuable toolbox for scientists including physicists. In this course, we will learn the basics of machine learning with an emphasis on applications for many-body physics. At the end of this course, you will be equipped with the necessary and preliminary tools for -
Numerical Methods (Core), PHYS 777-, January 6 - February 5, 2025
This course teaches basic numerical methods that are widely used across many fields of physics. The course is based on the Julia programming language. Topics include an introduction to Julia, linear algebra, Monte Carlo methods, differential equations, and are based on applications by researchers at -
Numerical Methods (Core), PHYS 777-006, Jan 5 - Feb 6, 2026
This course teaches basic numerical methods that are widely used across many fields of physics. The course is based on the Python programming language. Topics include an introduction to Python, linear algebra, Monte Carlo methods, root finding, integration, differential equations, and are based on -
