  4. Most investigations in 80’s were analytical, due to limited computational facilities. • For review, Guo and Luo, hep-lat/9706017. • Thanks to (1) rapid development of high performance supercomputers in China in late 90's, (2) success of the Symanzik improvement program, (3) support from NSF (National Science Foundation), more and more Chinese physicists do numerical simulations.

  15. Structure of Matter Quantum ChromoDynamics(QCD)： theory of strong interactions between quarks, mediated by gluons

  16.  Lattice Gauge Theory (Wilson, 1974): most reliable non-perturbative tool for strong interactions  Basic Ideas: Continuum space-time  Discretized grid Derivative  Finite difference a) quark field (x) b) gauge field U(x,k)

  17. Advantage: physical quantities can now be calculated by Monte Carlo simulation on a computer Disadvantage: O(a) errors are large at large coupling g. To reduce the error and keep La > diameter of the hadron, large volume (L>>1) is needed It costs a lot of computer time, and high performance parallel computer is necessary L: the number of lattice point in one direction

  18. Improved Lattice QCD • The most efficient way to reduce the O(a) and finite volume errors • Improved scalar action (Symanzik, 1983) • Quark action: Hamber and Wu, Phys. Lett. B133 (1983) 351. (Sheikholeslami and Wohlert, 1985) • Improved gluon action (Luscher, Weisz, 1984) • Tadpole improvement (Lepage, 1996) • Improved quark Hamiltonian: Luo, Chen, Xu, Jiang, , Phys. Rev.D50 (1994) 501. Jiang, Luo, Mei, Jirari, Kroger, Wu, Phys. Rev.D59 (1999) 014501. • Improved gluon Hamiltonian: Luo, Guo, Kroger, Schutte, Phys. Rev.D59 (1999) 034503.

Rev.D48 (1993) 402.

  20. To do numerical simulations with clover fermions: Luo, Comput. Phys. Commun. 94 (1996) 119-127. Jansen and Liu, Comput. Phys. Commun. 99 (1997) 221. • To do numerical simulations with Ginsparg-Wilson fermions: Liu, Nucl. Phys.B554 (1999) 313.

  21. Problems of standard Langrangian Monte Carlo simulations: • Extremely difficult to study excited states, • Broken done in QCD at finite density. Hamiltonian formulation of LGT does’t encounter above problem. Monte Carlo Hamiltonian: to construct effective Hamiltonian from standard Monte Carlo simulations. Tested in quantum mechanics: Jirari,Kroger,Luo,Moriarty,Phys. Lett. A258 (1999) 6. Luo, Jiang, Huang, Jirari, Kroger, Moriarty,Physica A281 (2000) 201.

  25. Hybrid meson QCD predict the existence of some new particles: Glueball: bound state of gluons Hybrid meson: bound state of quark, anti-quark and gluons Glueball

  26. Glueball Spectrum • From Hamiltonian lattice QCD: • Luo, Q. Chen, Mod.Phys.Lett.A11 (1996) 2435. Nucl. Phys.B(Proc.Suppl.)53 (1997) 243. • From Improved glunon action: • C.Liu, Chin. Phys.

  29. Hybrid meson masses from QCD with improved gluon and quark actions on the anisotropic lattice Mei and Luo,hep-lat/0206012

  30. At sufficiently high temperature and density, quarks are no longer confined New state of matter: Quark-Gluon Plasma

  31. Neutron Star RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) LHC (Large Hadron Collider) Lattice QCD at High Temperature can well be investigated by the standard Monte Carlo approach At finite density (chemical potential), standard action approach (Hasenfratz, Kasch, 1983) fails: because S is complex, one can not use e-S to generate configurations

  32. Alternative (Hamiltonian): QCD at finite chemical potential was solved in the strong coupling regime: Gregory, Guo, Kroger, Luo, Phys. Rev.D62 (2000) 054508. Luo,Gregory, Guo, Kroger, hep-ph/0011120. Fang, Luo, hep-lat/0210031. • There is a first order chiral phase transition at c • Reasonable results for the physical quantities are obtained,

  33. Nature of the chiral phase transition? Rapp, Schafer, Shuryak, Velkovsky, 1998 Alford, Rajagopal, Wilczek, 1998 Diquark condensation in the high density phase? Instantons and chaos play an important role? • There is no first principle study in SU(3). • The definition of quantum instantons and quantum chaos are umbiguous. • New Quantum Instantons and Quantum Chaos: Jirari, Kroger, Luo, Moriarty, Rubin, Phys. Rev. Lett.86 (2001) 187.

  35. We plan to do large scale simulations of lattice QCD, using the parallel supercomputing facilities in China. We will develop new numerical methods and study the following hot topics: new hadrons such as glueballs and hybrid mesons, scattering of hadrons, topology of QCD vacuum, transition from the quark confinement phase to quark-gluon plasma phase, quantum instantons and quantum chaos.
