Abstract

In this talk, which popularizes some of our recent work, we provide novel insights into the bulk properties of light chiral quarks in a fixed Euclidean volume (e.g. lattice QCD). We show that the spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry results into diffusing quarks with a vacuum diffusion constant D=2Fπ2/<qˉq>D=2F_{\pi}^2/|<\bar{q}q>| 0.22\approx 0.22 fm, in striking analogy to diffusing electrons in disordered metals in one-, two- and three-dimensions.
