A Gentle Introduction to Lattice Field Theory

The principles of Lattice Field Theory (LFT), in particular Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT), are explained for a nonspecialist audience. We describe some of the successes of the program; we also discuss the relationship between LFT and Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA).
