Wilson: confinement of quarks on a lattice

Contribution grade

Quantum field and particle physics · THEORY

Reference score350,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Formulated lattice gauge quantization and exhibited confinement in a computable strong-coupling limit.

Scientific scope

The record is Wilson's sole-author 1974 paper. The argument is in its stated lattice and strong-coupling setting; it is not a complete continuum proof of confinement and does not absorb later lattice simulations or numerical QCD.
