In pursuit of new physics

摘要

Some of the big questions in physics -How did the Universe form? How did primordial elementary particles combine to form protons and neutrons after the Big Bang? -cannot be solved by observations, or even by experiments. Computational science has become indispensable for scientific discovery and technological development in the twenty-first century; making the best use of high-performance computing, however, requires close collaboration between computer scientists and researchers in other scientific disciplines.
