Probability & Quantum Field Theory

Peking Summer Program in Probability

June 1-19, 2026

Program Overview

Peking University will host a summer program on the interaction between probability and quantum field theory from June 1 to June 19, 2026. This program aims to bring together researchers from around the world to explore various perspectives of this emerging direction.

A majority of the team members from the Simons Collaboration: Probabilistic Paths to Quantum Field Theory will attend this event.

Program Format

The program consists of four minicourses and research talks organized in the Oberwolfach style. The minicoures take place in the first two weeks, each of which is 6-hour long. The research talks will spread over the entire three weeks, organized in the Oberwolfach style, with speakers and topics decided shortly before the program begins. There will be ample free discussion time to encourage deep exchanges among participants.
