Abstract: (IOP)
Beside anniversaries of the important discoveries celebrated at the DISCRETE 2014 Symposium, there is another worth to mention: The first paper attempting direct calculation of the Yang–Mills vacuum wave functional was published by Greensite in 1979. I review some recent results of the determination of the vacuum wave functional in Monte Carlo simulations of SU(2) lattice gauge theory.
