Description

In this talk I will review the lattice QCD calculation of TMD physics and its impact on the experiments at the future Electron-Ion Collider. I will discuss the theory development centering around the large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) and the newly proposed Coulomb-gauge correlation functions within this framework. Besides, I will review the systematic lattice calculation of the Collins-Soper evolution kernel, and the spin-dependent TMD parton distribution functions, which have undergone significant improvement in the past few years.
