Welcome!

This is the application for the Problem Solving Based Lattice QCD Summer School at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA.

Program Dates:  June 28 - July 16, 2021

The aim of this school is to introduce students to applications of lattice gauge theory in strongly interacting systems, using a modern teaching style to enhance student learning together with lectures describing the latest advances in the field. 

School Topics
Topics covered by this school will include: Introduction to Lattice QCD, High-Performance Computing, Hadron Spectroscopy and Resonances, Flavor Physics, Structure of Hadrons, Nuclear Physics on the Lattice, Nonzero Temperature and Density QCD, Machine Learning, and Quantum Computing and Simulation. 

Logistics
Flipped-classroom practice [agree to work on the pre-class before actual class starts]
  • In this summer school, we will “flip” the classroom from traditional learning approaches. Watch this video to learn more about the “flipped classroom” https://youtu.be/ojiebVw8O0g.
  • In this summer school, pre-class learning is important. You need to complete the pre-class assignments and fully engage with the in-class activities. 
  • Only students who are committed to complete the pre-class learning/assignments will be admitted to this summer school. 

Due to COVID, the school will be online via Zoom, and will host live sessions for no more than half of each school day. 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 
The summer school is committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The school will adopt the Code of Conduct from the Lattice Conference, as well as additional rules to make everyone welcome.
