<b><u><span style="background:white">Abstract:</span></u></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background:white"> </span></span><span style="background:white">The strong force between quarks and gluons is described by the quantum and relativistic
theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Despite its development several decades ago, first-principles predictions remain challenging since QCD is strongly coupled at low energies. High-energy nuclear collider experiments are designed to answer questions about
emergent phenomena in QCD, the structure of protons and heavy nuclei, and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Confronting experimental data with first-principles predictions in QCD requires a rigorous understanding of the perturbative regime at
high energies as well as simulations of the low-energy dynamics. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in the study of hadrons and jets using modern methods of quantum field theory. Jet physics has been setting new frontiers in studies of fundamental
QCD dynamics and studies of nuclear matter. These ideas are directly relevant for the physics program at Jefferson Lab, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and they provide new research directions for the Electron-Ion Collider, the premier future project of
the U.S. Nuclear Physics program. An important future direction is to characterize and simulate the transition of low-energy quarks and gluons to hadrons. Here, perturbative techniques are generally not applicable, but progress in quantum computing may eventually
allow for first-principles simulations. I will present first proof-of-concept studies using existing quantum devices and outline future directions.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
