Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) is the theory of Quarks and Gluons formulated on a space-time lattice. Analytic or perturbative solutions in QCD are hard or impossible due to the highly nonlinear nature of the strong force. The formulation of QCD on a discrete rather than continuous space-time resolves many difficulties (e.g. divergences) associated with the continuum field theories. Most importantly, Lattice QCD provides the framework for investigation of non-perturbative phenomena such as Confinement and Quark-gluon Plasma formation, which are intractable by means of analytic field theories.
