Abstract
We show that the matrix element of a local quark-gluon operator in the phot on state, [gamma (k lambda)\(O) over cap\gamma (k lambda)], can be calculat ed in lattice QCD. The result is generalized to other quantities involving spacelike photons, including the transition form factor gamma gamma* --> pi (0) and the virtual-photon-nucleon Compton amplitude [gamma *N \ gamma *N] which can be used to define the generalized Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov and Bjor ken sum rules.
