会议宗旨
随着引力波探测、精确宇宙学观测以及量子计算与人工智能技术的飞速发展，基础物理研究正迎来一个前所未有的“交叉纪元”。粒子物理的标准模型虽已取得巨大成功，但暗物质的本质、宇宙早期的相变过程以及正反物质不对称等谜题，仍需我们在对微观粒子与宏观宇宙的探索中寻找答案。
EPIC 2026 （粒子、宇宙与前沿交叉研讨会） 旨在汇聚高能物理、宇宙学以及交叉领域的专家学者，共同探讨“粒子物理新物理以及多信使探测手段”。本次会议将特别关注电弱相变，探索希格斯物理与新物理模型在宇宙相变中的角色，暗物质理论与实验，并积极讨论量子计算与人工智能（AI）等前沿工具为解决基础物理难题提供全新的视角与方法。
主要议题 本次会议将围绕以下核心领域展开深入研讨：
-
新物理与希格斯机制 (BSM & Higgs Physics)
-
早期宇宙演化（Cosmology，Early Universe）
-
宇宙相变与引力波 (Cosmological Phase Transitions & Gravitational Waves)
-
暗物质与暗能量 (Dark Matter & Dark Energy)
-
量子计算、量子纠缠与基础物理 (Quantum Computing, Entanglement & Fundamental Physics)
-
人工智能在物理学中的应用 (AI for Physics)
我们诚挚邀请海内外同行相聚，在这个物理学的新界面上，共同激荡思想，探索未知。

Conference Scope
We are witnessing the dawn of a new era where the frontiers of high-energy physics and cosmology are increasingly intertwined. While the Standard Model stands as a triumph of particle physics, fundamental mysteries—such as the nature of dark matter, the dynamics of electroweak phase transitions, and the origin of the baryon asymmetry—compel us to look beyond, specifically at the interface where the microscopic world of particles meets the macroscopic evolution of the cosmos.
EPIC 2026 (Era of Particles at the Interface with Cosmology) brings together leading experts from particle physics, cosmology, and quantum information science. Our mission is to explore how elementary particles behave under the extreme conditions of the early universe. The workshop will focus on bridging the gap between theory and observation, emphasizing the role of Finite Temperature Field Theory, Higgs Physics, and Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) phenomena in cosmological evolution.
Furthermore, EPIC 2026 embraces the transformative potential of emerging technologies. We will extensively discuss how Quantum Simulation, Quantum Entanglement, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can serve as powerful tools to simulate complex systems and decode new physics signals.
Key Topics The workshop will cover a broad range of interdisciplinary topics, including but not limited to:
-
New Physics Beyond the Standard Model & Higgs Physics
-
Early Universe Dynamics & Finite Temperature Field Theory
-
Cosmological Phase Transitions & Gravitational Waves
-
Dark Matter Candidates & Detection
-
Quantum Computing & Entanglement in High-Energy Physics
-
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning for Physics
Join us at EPIC 2026 to explore the grand narrative of physics—from the smallest scales to the fabric of the universe itself.
