Abstract:
Ab initio simulation of the theory of the strong interactions, Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD), has advanced tremendously. We will review the
status of state-of-the-art simulations and present selective results
that attest to this progress. In particular, we will discuss results on
the nucleon quark content and their relevance to dark matter searches,
on the spin carried by quarks in the nucleon in relation to the
long-standing puzzle of the nucleon spin, and the neutron electric
dipole moment for probing physics beyond the standard model.
