In the last few years, numerical simulations of Quantum chromodynamics on the lattice have reached a new level of accuracy. A wide range of thermodynamic quantities is now available in the continuum limit and for physical quark masses. This allows a comparison with measurements from heavy ion collisions for the first time. Furthermore, calculations of dynamical quantities are also becoming available. The combined effort from first principles and experiment allows us to gain an unprecedented understanding of the properties of quark-gluon plasma. I will review the state-of-the-art results from lattice simulations and connect them to the experimental information from the relativistic heavy ion collider and the large hadron collider.
在过去的几年里，晶格上的量子色动力学数值模拟已经达到了新的精度水平。现在，在连续体极限和物理夸克质量下，广泛的热力学量都可以得到。这使得我们能够首次将其与重离子碰撞的测量结果进行比较。此外，动力学量的计算也变得可行。从第一性原理和实验的综合努力使我们能够以前所未有的方式了解夸克-胶子等离子体的性质。我将回顾晶格模拟的最新结果，并将其与相对论重离子对撞机和大型强子对撞机的实验信息联系起来。
