Description
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) governs the structure of visible matter, yet its most pressing challenges, from dense gluonic dynamics to precision descriptions of hadrons and nuclei, increasingly demand coordinated efforts beyond traditional collaborations. The Inter-American Network of Networks of QCD Challenges (I.ANN QCD) connects communities across the Americas to address fundamental questions in strong-interaction physics through a network-of-networks approach.
In this talk, I will highlight scientific themes within I.ANN QCD, including high-density gluon dynamics and ultraperipheral collisions as clean photon-induced probes connected to the future Electron–Ion Collider program. I will also discuss how advances in AI, quantum science, computing, and next-generation detector and accelerator technologies, together with industry partnerships, are creating shared challenges and opportunities across physics, with QCD both driving and benefiting from this broader transformation at the heart of matter.
