With ever increasing computational resources and improvements in
algorithms, new opportunities are emerging for lattice gauge theory
to address key questions in strongly interacting systems, such as
nuclear matter.
Calculations today use dynamical gauge-field ensembles with
degenerate light up/down quarks and the strange quark and it is
possible now to consider including charm-quark degrees of freedom
in the QCD vacuum. Pion masses and other sources of systematic
error, such as finite-volume and discretization effects, are
beginning to be quantified systematically. Altogether, an era of
precision calculation has begun and many new observables will be
calculated at the new computational facilities.
The aim of this set of lectures is to provide graduate students
with a grounding in the application of lattice gauge theory methods
to strongly interacting systems and in particular to nuclear
physics.A wide variety of topics are covered, including continuum
field theory, lattice discretizations, hadron spectroscopy and
structure, many-body systems, together with more topical lectures
in nuclear physics aimed a providing a broad phenomenological
background. Exercises to encourage hands-on experience with
parallel computing and data analysis are included."
