The 4th Theoretical Physics Frontier Workshop (Quality QCD Workshop 2015) - Lattice Quantum Color Dynamics - was opened in Room 409 of Building 9, and Vice President Wang Enke attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech. The workshop was organized by Prof. Ding Hengtong and Professor Frithjof Karsch of the Institute of Particle Physics of the School of Physical Science and Technology of our university. There were more than 50 young teachers and trainees from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, and national defense. University of Science and Technology, Institute of High Energy, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Bielefeld, Germany, Osaka University, Japan, and more than a dozen research institutes at home and abroad. The two-week QCD workshop will start from March 9, 2015 and end on March 20, 2015. The workshop was jointly funded by the National Science Foundation, the Collaborative Innovation Center for Nuclear Physics, the Key Laboratory of Quark and Lepton Physics under the Ministry of Education, and the High Energy Nuclear Physics Innovation Group Fund.
The “2015 China University QCD Workshop” was specially invited to the internationally renowned physicists in the Lattice Quantum Chromo Dynamics (Lattice QCD, Lattice Quantum Chromo Dynamics): Prof. William Detmold of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and William Mary of the United States. Prof. Konstantinos Orginos, Prof. Massimo D'Elia, University of Pisa, Italy, and Taku Izubuchi, Researcher, Brooklyn National Laboratory, USA. During the two-week workshop, they gave a series of reports and lectures on the fundamental theory and latest development of lattice quantum chromodynamics. The main teaching contents of this workshop are: basic theoretical knowledge of lattice quantum chromodynamics, Monte Carlo numerical simulation algorithm needed to realize lattice quantum chromodynamics, and lattice temperature at finite temperature and zero temperature. Frontier topics in the field of quantum chromodynamics.
The lattice quantum chromodynamics is a numerical simulation method developed by K. G. Wilson, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1982, to study strong interaction long-range physics in the 1970s. The lattice quantum chromodynamics study requires a large amount of computational resources, involving all aspects of high-performance parallel simulation. It has been widely used in various computer architectures. For example, traditional CPUs, graphics processing units (GPUs), and multi-core processors (Xeon Phi, MICs) can be used to perform lattice quantum chromodynamic calculations. The application of lattice quantum chromodynamics has been honored by two Gordon Bell awards at the World Supercomputer Conference, and the need for lattice quantum chromodynamics research has also contributed to the development of modern supercomputers. The workshop also invited Dr. Meng Xiangfei, Chief of Computational Technical Support Department of the National Center for Supercomputing Tianjin (Tianhe No.1), Dr. Du Yunfei, Chief Engineer of the National Supercomputing Guangzhou Center (Tianhe II), and Admiralty Research Associate of Computational Chemistry, Supercomputing Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Professor Jin Hai, Dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. They gave a detailed introduction to the use of domestic computing resources and high-performance computing.
This workshop is mainly aimed at domestic and international lattice quantum chromodynamics, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows in high energy physics, young researchers and teachers, to better train young research teams in this field. Through two weeks of study, students can have a clearer and more thorough understanding of the basic principles of lattice quantum chromodynamics, numerical computation techniques, modern applications and research frontiers, and lay a solid foundation for further research on lattice quantum chromodynamics. solid foundation.
The Institute of Particle Physics of the University has a research team in the earliest in China that is dedicated to quark matter physics and quark matter signal detection. In recent years, quark matter theory and high-energy nuclear collision experiments have rapidly entered the frontiers of international research and received extensive attention from international counterparts. The holding of this workshop will further promote our university's cooperation in the field of quantum chromodynamics and domestic and international cooperation, and improve our university's academic status and influence in the research field of lattice quantum chromodynamics.
