this is mostly a joke because practical qcd and graviton calculations are far smaller and also more difficult in some sense

Observation of string breaking in QCD
We numerically investigate the transition of the static quark-antiquark string into a static-light meson-antimeson system. Improving noise reduction techniques, we are able to resolve the signature of...

Dark Radiation Sticks Together: Dark QCD and the Hubble Tension
We introduce a model of dark matter charged under a new confining gauge group akin to the Standard Model's quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The fermionic sector contains both heavy and light quark-like f...

Cool new zsh keyboard shortcut
bindkey -s '^[[1;3A' '^qcd ..\n'
It let you push alt+up arrow in your terminal to go up a directory. I use this shortcut frequently in gui file navigation and realized I should have it in my terminal too
It literally types cd .. (with a new line)
