Low-energy tests of fundamental symmetries are extremely sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model, reaching scales that are comparable, if not higher, than directly accessible at the energy frontier. The interpretation of…
Exascale computing could soon enable a predictive theory of nuclear structure and reactions rooted in the Standard Model, with quantifiable and systematically improvable uncertainties. Such a predictive theory will help exploit experiments…
A short lecture given at the Summer School on "Modern perspectives in lattice QCD", Les Houches, August 3-28, 2009.
I discuss highlights in the progress that is being made toward calculating processes of importance in nuclear physics from QCD using high performance computing. As exa-scale computing resources are expected to become available around 2017,…
A new method for nuclear potentials is reviewed. The strategy to extract the potential from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave function in lattice QCD is explained and the first result based on the method is presented in quenched QCD. The recent…
Recent progress in Lattice QCD is highlighted. After a brief introduction to the methodology of lattice computations the presentation focuses on three main topics: Hadron Spectroscopy, Hadron Structure and Lattice Flavor Physics. In each…
I review the current status of lattice QCD results. I concentrate on new analytical developments and on numerical results relevant to phenomenology.
Lattice simulations of hadronic structure are now reaching a level where they are able to not only complement, but also provide guidance to current and forthcoming experimental programmes at, e.g. Jefferson Lab, COMPASS/CERN and FAIR/GSI.…
Lattice techniques are the most reliable ones to investigate non-perturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) such as its phase diagram in the temperature-baryon density plane. They are, however, well-known to be beset with a…
A remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the hot and dense QCD matter using lattice gauge theory. The issues which are very well understood as well those which require both conceptual as well as algorithmic advances are…
In the last few years, numerical simulations of QCD on the lattice have reached a new level of accuracy. A wide range of thermodynamic quantities is now available in the continuum limit and for physical quark masses. This allows a…
Effective field theories provide a bridge between QCD and nuclear physics. I discuss light nuclei from this perspective, emphasizing the role of fine-tuning.
In this talk I want to convey an idea about the perspectives for precise lattice QCD computations. Some emphasis is put on the field of flavour physics, where lattice QCD seems to be needed the most in the quantitative interpretation of…
We illustrate the current status of heavy quark physics on the lattice. Special emphasis is paid to the question of systematic uncertainties and to the connection of lattice computations to continuum physics. Latest results are presented…

This year lattice QCD has become very public. A new generation of simulations (including light dynamical quarks) have produced results which are in close agreement with many ``easy'' experimental quantities, and precise predictions for…
A general introduction to lattice QCD suitable for graduate students in experimental and theoretical particle physics. Aimed at those who want to know how lattice calculations are done, and what the pitfalls are, without having to do the…

In this paper we review recent progress in hadron structure using lattice QCD simulations, with main focus in the evaluation of nucleon matrix elements. We highlight developments that may guide new Physics searches, such as the scalar and…
Nucleon-nucleon scattering is studied to next-to-leading order in a partially-quenched extension of an effective field theory used to describe multi-nucleon systems in QCD. The partially-quenched nucleon-nucleon amplitudes will play an…
