Physics to Go! part 3 - quarks, gluons, and all that Play around with quarks and study the quantum theory of quarks and gluons - QCD - in a lattice simulation choice 1 quark and gluon gas put a bunch of quarks, anti-quarks, and gluons in a box, pick a type of interaction and watch them form baryons, mesons (like protons and pions), and glueballs. choice 2 lattice simulation solve the exact quantum equations of the gluons and observe the transition from a color-confined state of hadrons to a deconfined phase of free colored objects as they existed shortly after the big bang. These two simulations are quite close to actual theoretical research in high-energy physics. The choice 1 is a pretty intuitive simulation, whereas choice 2 is more advanced, but includes some intriguing features like the "live" display of picking out very important (quasi-)classical gluon states from the intricate quantum fluctuations of QCD. Enjoy!
