Fifty Years of Quantum Chromodynamics - The Theory of the Strong Nuclear Force

Join Nobel laureate David Gross from KITP Santa Barbara for a comprehensive colloquium lecture exploring the 50-year history and evolution of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory describing the strong nuclear force. Delve into an expert analysis of QCD's theoretical foundations, its experimental validations, current applications, and future prospects in modern physics. Gain deep insights into one of physics' most successful theories through this 95-minute presentation that examines both historical developments and cutting-edge research directions in our understanding of the strong interactions between quarks and gluons.
