Explore the fundamental structure of matter through lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in this 54-minute conference talk from the 2025 Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings Annual Meeting. Delve into the computational methods used to study hadrons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, and examine how lattice QCD simulations reveal the properties of atomic nuclei. Discover the theoretical framework for understanding glueballs, exotic particles composed entirely of gluons, and learn how lattice calculations provide insights into these elusive states of matter. Gain understanding of how numerical simulations on discrete spacetime grids enable researchers to solve the complex equations of QCD and make predictions about the strong nuclear force that binds quarks and gluons together within hadrons and nuclei.
