A number of persons from the Mathematical Picture Language Project at Harvard met in Beijing as a small working group during the month June 15 to July 15, 2018. This gathering took place in collaboration with the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science (AMSS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is is under the auspices of Academician Nanhua Xi. The working group was organized by Arthur Jaffe and Liming Ge, with the extensive assistance of Boqing Xue.

The small working group included several students. The idea was to focus on research relating to representation theory and quantum information. Participants in the working group included: Vincent Braunack-Mayer, Kaifeng Bu, Terry Gannon, Liming Ge, Kibrom Gebrehiwot, Weichen Gu, Linzhe Huang, Arthur Jaffe, Davis Lazowski, Lu Li, Xiang Li, Zongzhu Lin, Zhengwei Liu, Yunxiang Ren, Michele Tienni, Alex Wozniakowski, Jinsong Wu, Boqing Xue, and Hanbin Zhang.

In addition to the working group seminars listed below, Zhengwei Liu [gave six lectures on planar algebras](/introduction-planar-algebras) at Tsinghua University.
