We are pleased to announce the second Michigan Cosmology Summer School from June 5-9, 2023 at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, MI. The target participants are graduate students and junior postdocs. Additional details are in the Summer School website: https://johannesulf.github.io/cosmology-school-2023/, including a preliminary list of lecturers. While we expect the majority of participants to be in-person, we will provide a hybrid setup, opening lectures and interaction spaces to online participants. This should significantly broaden the accessibility of the School to junior scientists based in countries from which it is expensive and difficult to travel to the U.S. The school will cover topics across the field of cosmology ranging from theory to experiment, but the emphasis will be on computation and the interface between data and theory. An overarching goal of the school will be to provide participants with concrete practical skills for data modeling. The focus will be on the theoretical underpinnings of inflation, dark matter, and dark energy using modern measurements, principally those coming from the LSS and CMB. The registration opens late January. The Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics will heavily subsidize registration costs to minimize barriers for attendees. The weather in Michigan that time of the year should be very nice, with long sunny days. We are planning to organize some outdoor activities as well.

The Quantum Computing Summer School is an immersive 10-week curriculum that includes tutorials from world-leading experts in quantum computation as well as one-on-one mentoring from LANL staff scientists who are conducting cutting-edge quantum computing research. Summer school fellowship recipients will be exposed to the theoretical foundations of quantum computation and will become skilled at programming commercial quantum computers, such as those developed by D-Wave Systems, Rigetti, and IBM. Roughly twenty students (with the precise number determined based on the applicant pool) will be awarded a fellowship from LANL for the summer school.
