Quantum Chromodynamics: Computational Aspects

Nuclear Theory 2016-12-14 v2 High Energy Physics - Lattice

Abstract

We present a brief introduction to QCD, the QCD phase diagram, and non-equilibrium phenomena in QCD. We emphasize aspects of the theory that can be addressed using computational methods, in particular euclidean path integral Monte Carlo, fluid dynamics, kinetic theory, classical field theory and holographic duality.
