摘要
The quark-gluon plasma is a novel state of matter in which quarks are no longer confined to bound states such as baryons and mesons. Just after the Big Bang the Universe was filled with a quark-gluon plasma. The cores of neutron stars may well be a quark-gluon plasma. At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists collide high energy gold beams to produce and study the quark gluon plasma. Lattice gauge theorists use computers to study to properties of the quark-gluon plasma such as the temperature required to produce it and its equation of state. These demanding calculations will require over a Petaflop-year of computing to achieve theoretical goals.
