Abstract

I provide a short overview of the current status of nuclear physics calculations using lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD). I give an heuristic description of how LQCD calculations are performed and how nuclear scattering data are extracted from these calculations, emphasizing the overlap between traditional nuclear many-body theory and LQCD calculations. I look at the Ω − Ω − system as a concrete example, and in so doing demonstrate the predictive nature of LQCD calculations as applied to nuclear physics.
