Funded Activity Summary

Studying the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and density using lattice techniques. The quark-gluon plasma, a new state of matter consisting of quarks and gluons, is currently the subject of intensive investigation. A striking feature of the results is that the quark-gluon plasma is the most perfect fluid known to mankind. Calculating its 'fluid-like' properties, called the transport properties, theoretically, remains one of the central challenges of the field due to several technical difficulties. This project aims to perform a first ever computation of these properties using Australian supercomputers.
