  2219\n\nPasscode: VbRSX2\n\nWhile the electrons in atoms are elementary p
 articles (as far as we can tell)\, protons and neutrons are tightly bound 
 states of quarks. In fact there are a plethora of other\, short-lived stat
 es composed of quarks and antiquarks. All of these composite particles are
  called hadrons. In this talk I will introduce Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD
 )\, the theory of how quarks bind to form hadrons via the "strong force." 
 There are many similarities between QCD and condensed matter physics of ma
 terials. I will draw out these similarities to show how QCD can be solved 
 numerically.
