PiTP is an intensive two-week summer program designed for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The program will be held from July 14-25, 2025 at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ.

Prospects in Theoretical Physics (PiTP) is an intensive two-week summer program designed for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The program will be held from July 10-21, 2023 at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ.

PiTP 2024: “Ultra-Quantum Matter” Date: July 8-19, 2024 PiTP is an intensive two-week summer program designed for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and will cover a broad range of topics in the theory of highly entangled quantum matter.

First held by the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in the summer of 2002, the PiTP program is designed to provide lectures and informal sessions on the latest advances and open questions in various areas of theoretical physics.

From July 20 to 31, 2015, the 14th annual Prospects in Theoretical Physics (PiTP) summer program will be offered as a joint program, co-sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), the Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM), and the Princeton Center for Theoretical Sciences (PCTS).

What is the registration fee/housing cost for PiTP? No registration fee is required for PiTP. Non-local participants will receive accommodations and meals at a subsidized cost $800 for graduate students and $950 for postdoctoral participants.

PiTP 2003 was devoted to the problems and techniques at the interface of particle physics and cosmology. PiTP 2004 was a program for advanced graduate students in string theory, while PiTP 2005 was designed to provide an introduction to collider physics.
