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 -
9 -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.
10 -This transformation is at the heart of phenomenological work: it requires both analytical understanding and computational implementation.
11 -
12 -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.
13 -
14 -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.
15 -
16 -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.

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