The '''Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics''' ('''IAPCM''') was established in 1958 in [[Beijing]] in the [[People's Republic of China]]. The institution conducts research on [[nuclear warhead]] design computations for the [[Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics]] (CAEP) in [[Mianyang]], [[Sichuan]] and focuses on applied theoretical research and on the study of fundamental theories. Its main research fields include: [[Theoretical physics]], [[nuclear fusion]], [[Plasma (physics)|plasma physics]], [[nuclear physics]], [[Atomic physics|atomic molecular physics]], [[laser]] physics, [[fluid dynamics]], [[applied mathematics]], and arms control science and technology.

The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] has stated that IAPCM has targeted U.S. defense labs for [[industrial espionage]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Solomon|first=Jay|date=2005-08-10|title=FBI Sees Big Threat From Chinese Spies; Businesses Wonder|language=en-US|work=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB112362385648509071|access-date=2020-10-04|issn=0099-9660}}</ref>
