About Us

The Nuclear Physics with Lattice Quantum Chromo Dynamics (NPLQCD) collaboration was formed in 2004 with the goal of using lattice QCD to calculate hadronic interactions and other observables relevant to nuclear physics.

NPLQCD is an US-European collaboration who has received computational resources from a number of organizations. These include USQCD, NERSC and Teragrid in the US, PRACE and RES in Europe. We have also run in local clusters located at the University of Washington, College of William and Mary, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of New Hampshire.

Our collaboration brings together expertise in numerical algorithms, programming languages, operating systems, lattice field theory, and particle and nuclear physics.
