A Foundation Model for Lattice QCD: Learning to Understand the Standard Model and Beyond
Despite describing fundamental physics with spectacular accuracy, the Standard Model of particle physics is known to be incomplete. As experimental programmes probe its boundaries at higher energies and with better precision, it is critical that measurements are faced with fully controlled theory predictions. Lattice simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) form a major pillar of this effort. However, even with increasing computing capacity, many lattice QCD calculations will not be possible without new techniques. FoundLatt aims to solve this challenge by developing the first machine learning (ML) foundation model for lattice QCD. As exemplified by the highly successful ChatGPT, these…
