The quark-gluon plasma, a new state of matter consisting of quarks and gluons, is currently the subject of intensive investigation. A striking feature of the results is that the quark-gluon plasma is the most perfect fluid known to mankind. Calculating its 'fluid-like' properties, called the transport properties, theoretically, remains one of the central challenges of the field due to several technical difficulties. This project aims to perform a first ever computation of these properties using Australian supercomputers.

夸克-胶子等离子体是一种由夸克和胶子组成的新物质态，目前是深入研究的主题。结果的一个显着特征是夸克-胶子等离子体是人类已知的最完美的流体。由于存在一些技术困难，从理论上讲，计算其“类流体”特性（称为传输特性）仍然是该领域的核心挑战之一。该项目旨在使用澳大利亚超级计算机对这些属性进行首次计算。
