Abstract

After an introduction to the standard model of particle interaction we will review the status of lattice QCD calculations providing examples of the hadron spectrum and the inner structure of nucleons. We will then point to problems that cannot be solved by conventional Monte Carlo simulation techniques, i.e. non-zero baryon density, the matter-antimatter asymmetry and real time simulations.
It will be demonstrated at the example of the 1+1 dimensional Schwinger model that tensor network techniques are able to overcome these problems showing that with this approach - and eventual quantum simulations-- opens a new path for solving QCD.
