Two-loop five-particle scattering amplitudes

I discuss the recent advances in the computation of two-loop scattering amplitudes for five-particle processes. The latter are fundamental ingredients to obtain predictions at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD for many interesting LHC processes. I discuss the state-of-the-art technology for computing scattering amplitudes analytically, and present new results relevant for the LHC phenomenology.
