The Los Alamos Summer School is a ten-week summer program for undergraduate physics students held in Los Alamos, New Mexico under the auspices of the University of New Mexico (UNM) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The School's principal aims are to expose the students to frontier research in physics and to provide training and encouragement to them in their pursuit of careers in physics and related areas. About 20 participants are selected from a pool of applicants based on their responses to a web-based application form, their college transcripts, and two letters of recommendation. Of these, approximately 10 students are supported by NSF and 10 by DoE/LANL. A stipend is given to each student to cover cost of living, transportation, and tuition for a special UNM graduate course, basically the student's project, with credit of 3 semester hours, into which the student is automatically enrolled. The students are given lectures by experts from UNM and LANL as well as by distinguished visitors, on topics in frontier areas of physics and applied physics including biophysics and quantum computing. They also participate in weeklong symposia on such subjects as astrophysics, condensed matter, particle physics, and atomic, molecular, and optical physics as well as applied physics (including biophysics, lasers, and quantum computing). Most of the students' time is spent on individual research projects with mentors from the senior scientific staffs of LANL and UNM, working on topics of mutual interest. Final reports by the students on their summer research projects are published by LANL in a LA-UR report. Attention is paid to making the experience as enjoyable as possible, and the students share a number of extracurricular activities. The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program and by the NSF Physics Division.

洛斯阿拉莫斯暑期学校（Los Alamos Summer School）是在新墨西哥州的洛斯阿拉莫斯大学（University of新墨西哥州，UNM）和洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室（Los Alamos National Laboratory，LANL）的赞助下，为本科物理学生举办的为期十周的暑期课程。学校的主要目标是让学生接触物理学的前沿研究，并为他们在物理学和相关领域的职业生涯提供培训和鼓励。大约20名参与者是从申请者中选出的，他们对基于网络的申请表、大学成绩单和两封推荐信的反应是决定性的。其中，大约10名学生由NSF支持，10名由DoE/LANL支持。每个学生都有一笔津贴，用于支付生活费、交通费和一门特殊的UNM研究生课程的学费，基本上是学生的项目，有3个学期的学分，学生自动入学。学生们将由UNM和LANL的专家以及杰出的访问者进行讲座，主题是物理学和应用物理学的前沿领域，包括生物物理学和量子计算。他们还参加为期一周的专题讨论会，讨论的主题包括天体物理学、凝聚态物质、粒子物理学、原子、分子和光学物理学以及应用物理学（包括生物物理学、激光和量子计算）。大部分学生的时间都花在个人研究项目上，导师来自LANL和UNM的高级科学工作人员，致力于共同感兴趣的主题。LANL在LA-UR报告中公布了学生夏季研究项目的最终报告。注意使体验尽可能愉快，学生们分享一些课外活动。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划和NSF物理部门共同资助。
