CTP-LI Connect
The Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP) was founded in March 1968, becoming one of the first centers for theoretical physics established in the United States. The Center is an institution committed to collaboration in all of the major areas of theory research. In May 2025 a generous donation to support our efforts was made and the Center was renamed the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics – a Leinweber Institute.
Thank you to Virgil Elings
