We review a selected number of topics where ab-initio Quantum Chromodynamics-level information about hadrons can be obtained with this computational tool that is hard to come by from other methods. This includes high baryon-density systems such as neutron-star matter (with a sign problem in lattice gauge theory); fragmentation functions; Monte Carlo generation of particles which accounts for quantum correlations in the final state; entropy production in jets; and generally, any application where time evolution in Minkowski space (as opposed to a Euclidean formulation) or where large chemical potentials play an important dynamical role. For other problems, such as the prediction of very highly excited hadron spectroscopy, they will not be a unique, but a complementary tool.}, organization = {Grants PID2023-147072NB-I00; PID2022-137003NBI00 of the Spanish MCIN/AEI /10.13039/501100011033/}, organization = {Grant FPU21/04180 of the Spanish Ministry of Universities}, keywords = {Hadron Physics}, keywords = {Quantum computing}, keywords = {Equation of State}, title = {Preparations for Quantum Computing in Hadron Physics}, doi = {10.1142/S0217751X26300036}, author = {Gálvez Viruet, Juan José and Llanes Estrada, Felipe J.}, }
