Lattice QCD
Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) is a computational method for studying quantum chromodynamics (QCD)—the theory of strong nuclear forces—by discretizing spacetime onto a lattice and simulating quark and gluon dynamics. Introduced by Kenneth Wilson in 1974, LQCD is the only known approach for non-perturbative calculations of QCD properties from first principles.
