1 +=== Quantum simulation of real-time dynamics in high-energy physics ===
2 +==== Supervisor: Lin Chen
3 +====
4 +
5 +**Introduction:**
6 +
7 +Phenomenology in high-energy physics serves as a critical interface between theory and experiment.
8 +While theoretical models—particularly those based on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)—allow us to predict observables such as differential cross-sections, these predictions must be transformed into concrete numerical results before they can be compared to experimental data.
9 +This transformation is at the heart of phenomenological work: it requires both analytical understanding and computational implementation.
10 +
11 +In this project, the student will learn how to translate theoretical expressions for differential cross-sections into numerical simulations, calculate relevant observables, and compare these results with real-world data from high-energy experiments such as those at the LHC or RHIC.
12 +The focus will be on inclusive jet and hadron production, with the possibility of exploring more complex observables such as dijet correlations or extending the analysis to heavy-ion collisions.
13 +Through this hands-on experience, the student will develop practical skills in numerical computing, gain insight into the logic of perturbative QCD calculations, and understand how phenomenological tools connect theoretical predictions with experimental measurements.

15 +**Work Description:**
16 +
17 +* meeting and discussion (2hrs/day)
18 +* unsupervised work (4hrs/day)
19 +
20 +**Expected outcomes:**
21 +
22 +* given a differential cross-section, write a program that can calculate the differential distribution of an observable
23 +* reproduce existing single inclusive jet/hadron experimental data (LO)
24 +* reproduce existing dijet-related experimental data (LL)
25 +* implement applications in heavy-ion collisions (optional)
26 +
27 +**Requirements:**
28 +
29 +* basic Fortran, or C/C++ programming
30 +* preferred knowledge in high-energy physics
31 +* preferred knowledge in numerical analysis
