During 2025–26, the CMSA will host a seminar on Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics, organized by Robert Moscrop, Ahsan Khan, Chuck Doran, and Keyou Zeng.
This seminar series, a successor to the Quantum Matter Seminar, focuses on all aspects of quantum field theory and its associated mathematics.
The seminar will take place on Mondays from 3:00–4:00 pm.
