Title: Scattering amplitudes as a window into high-energy QCD

High-energy scattering poses very intriguing challenges in theoretical physics, with implications ranging from the structure of the proton to trans-Planckian gravitational scattering. In this regime, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) exhibits a remarkably rich and intricate structure, where expectations based on naive factorisation break down. New dynamical phenomena emerge, playing a crucial role in ensuring the unitarity of the theory.
In this talk, I will briefly review the high-energy dynamics of QCD and discuss how recent advances in the study of scattering amplitudes provide new tools to investigate this regime in a controlled and systematic way. I will highlight some of the resulting insights, along with their implications and possible directions for future work.
