Description
Lattice QCD has emerged as an essential framework for understanding the properties of hadrons from first principles. Many features of strong-coupling QCD, such as the excited state spectrum and the internal structure of hadrons characterized by light-cone-separated matrix elements, that were once thought inaccessible to ab initio computation, are now explored in detail. In this talk, I focus on the internal structure of the nucleon and pion, from the one-dimensional distributions encapsulated in the parton distribution functions and electromagnetic form factors, through the three-dimensional measures of GPDs and TMDs. I conclude with the opportunities emerging in the exascale era, and how the amalgam of lattice computations and experiment will be key to the faithful imaging of hadrons.
