The Centre for High Energy Physics at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, will be organizing a school on Computational Methods in Lattice Field Theories, from October 28th - November 1st, 2025. The school will take place a week before the annual Lattice Conference, which will be held this year in India, at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai, from November 3rd - 8th, 2025. The school aims at training Ph.D. students and young Postdoctoral Fellows in some of the frontier and contemporary topics in lattice field theory.
The following topics will be covered at the school:
-
-
- Quantum Computing for Lattice Field Theories.
- Applications of Machine Learning to Lattice QCD.
- Monte Carlo and Quantum Monte Carlo.
- Hadronic Interactions from Lattice QCD.
- QCD at Finite Temperature and Density.
-
The format will consist of lectures and tutorials on the above topics by the following Lecturers:
-
-
- Jishnu Goswami (RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, Japan)
- Emilie Huffman (Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics, Canada)
- Gurtej Kanwar (University of Edinburgh, UK)
- Maxim Mai (University of Bern, Switzerland)
- Srijit Paul (University of Maryland, USA)
- Christian Schmidt (Bielefeld University, Germany)
- Arnab Sen (Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, India)
- Jesse Stryker (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA)
-
Registration:
To attend the school, you will first need to fill out the registration form, which will be made available on this page shortly. Participation in the school will only be possible if your registration is accepted. Preference will be given to junior postdocs and to Ph.D. students who are already working in the above-mentioned fields.
Candidates will need to make their own travel arrangements to and from IISc Bangalore. However, we will be able to provide shared accommodation to some of the candidates for the duration of the conference. We expect to be able to support around 40 students and postdocs in total.
There is also a registration fee which will be used to cover some of the local expenses during the school. The fee is as follows:
-
-
- Students: INR 4,500 + 18% GST.
- Postdocs: INR 6,000 + 18% GST.
- Faculty: INR 12,000 + 18% GST.
-
The registration fee will need to be paid only after the registration has been accepted.
You are welcome to write to us in case of any further queries. We look forward to seeing you later this year at IISc.
