Tropical Methods in Quantum Field Theory
Tropical geometry is rapidly emerging as a powerful new tool in quantum field theory. Its appeal is twofold. On the practical side, it provides remarkably efficient algorithms, turning previously intractable QFT computations into feasible problems and opening up access to quantities that have long resisted direct calculation. On the conceptual side, it sheds new light on long-standing puzzles in the structure of QFT, including the nature of its (typically divergent) perturbative expansions. This meeting brings together researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics at the forefront of this fast-moving field to share recent breakthroughs, exchange techniques, and chart the directions ahead.

Integrability in Dimensions 2, 3, and 4
In recent years novel forms of quantum integrability have been studied in quantum field theories in dimensions 3 and 4. This topic has close connections to celestial holography, and has had applications to scattering amplitudes. This workshop aims to connect researchers working on higher dimensional integrability with experts working on 2 dimensional integrability, with the hope of applying established techniques in two dimensions to higher dimensional problems.
This workshop is sponsored in part by the Simons Collaboration on Celestial Holography.

Relativity Reframed: Quantum Reference Frames and Gravity
Quantum reference frames (QRFs) have emerged as a powerful and rapidly developing framework in fundamental physics, providing a systematic approach to formulating theories without fixed classical backgrounds. By making explicit the relational structure of physical laws, QRFs supply concrete tools to define subsystems, observables, and quantum information in diffeomorphism-invariant and dynamically fluctuating spacetimes. Their applications span quantum gravity, algebraic and curved-spacetime quantum field theory, quantum information, cosmology, and phenomenology, refining our understanding of locality, causality, symmetry, and measurement beyond semiclassical regimes. In gravitational settings, QRFs clarify relational observables, edge modes, soft degrees of freedom, and entanglement in quantum spacetime, and shed new light on the role of observers in dynamical geometries.
This conference will convene researchers advancing these developments at a pivotal stage for the field. By bringing together high-energy theory, quantum foundations, and emerging experimental directions, the workshop aims to sharpen central conceptual questions, explore phenomenological implications, and strengthen the link between formal structure and operational meaning. The goal is to consolidate QRFs as a coherent framework for describing observers, information, and subsystems in a relational universe.

IGWN-PI School on Gravitational Waves
The International Gravitational Wave Network (IGWN) School is an intensive one-week program designed for graduate students and early-career researchers seeking to contribute to gravitational wave astronomy through engagement with the global LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA collaboration. The school will offer a comprehensive introduction to the science, infrastructure, techniques, and collaborative practices that underpin modern gravitational-wave astronomy given by leading scientists from across this international network of advanced gravitational-wave detectors. Participants will explore the many aspects of gravitational wave observations—from detector operations and characterization to data analysis and astrophysical interpretation—gaining the practical knowledge and methodological tools needed to contribute effectively to this large, worldwide scientific effort. Through lectures, tutorials, and interactive sessions, this program aims to foster a new generation of researchers capable of actively participating in a global collaboration of thousands of scientists working together to make groundbreaking discoveries.Topics include:- compact binary coalescence, continuous wave, and dark matter searches; building gravitational wave catalogs
- multi-messenger gravitational wave astronomy
- gravitational wave observatories, instrument science, and detector characterization
- structure and integrating into the collaboration

TRISEP 2026
The 2026 Tri-Institute Summer School on Elementary Particles (TRISEP) will be held July 13-24 at Perimeter Institute.
TRISEP is an international summer school organized jointly by Perimeter Institute, SNOLAB, and TRIUMF, Canada's laboratory for particle and nuclear physics. TRISEP will feature lectures by leading experts in the fields of particle physics and particle astrophysics (broadly defined) and is designed to be very interactive with ample time for questions, discussions and interaction with the speakers. The school is intended for graduate students of all levels, both theorists and experimentalists, preferably with some knowledge of quantum field theory.
Previous TRISEP Schools:
2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021,2019,2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

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. As a part of this, we will discuss conceptual questions underlying quantum cosmology including the problem of time and the lack of an external observer, and some possible resolutions. Finally, we will see how loop quantum gravity motivates a particular quantization for cosmology that gives loop quantum cosmology. In the last part of the course, we will study the physics predicted by loop quantum cosmology in the primordial universe.

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 learn the basics of quantum many-body theory and artificial neural networks and see how these tools can be combined to represent quantum states, analyze data, and optimize quantum experiments. The course provides both conceptual foundations and practical insight into how artificial intelligence is transforming the study of complex quantum systems.

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 ultralight bosons produced non-thermally (axions). The final lecture turns to detection, and discusses how to build a dark matter experiment.
