Background expectation: Undergraduate student, Postgraduate student and Postdocs who are interested in computational physics. Students who already use AI agents, or have strong willingness to take challenges, are preferred.
Apply by July 1, 2026. The final list is confirmed on July 8, 2026.
Cost
No registration fee for students.
Lunch and dinner provided on site.
Accommodation is not covered by the budget — participants arrange their own stay. (If you need help, please contact us.)
Before You Arrive
We assume you show up with AI agent tooling already set up on your laptop. The harness assumes you can fork a repo, run a make target, and converse with an agent in your terminal — we don’t run an introductory installfest on Day 1. See Resources for the recommended stack and setup links.
What to bring:
A laptop with one AI agent tool installed and authenticated (recommended: Claude Code — alternatives: Codex CLI, OpenCode).
Familiarity with git, make, and the terminal. If you’ve never opened a pull request, do it once on a sandbox repo before July 26.
Cluster access for compute-heavy tracks: TBD — student HPC accounts for login, scratch space, and queue access. The target is to confirm the cluster before harness release in mid-July, especially for CTMRG and QMC.
