The calculation of infinite-volume hadron-hadron scattering amplitudes from Lattice QCD simulations requires precisely determined finite-volume energy spectra. This required level of precision is achieved through the stochastic LapH method, an efficient algorithm to treat the physically important low-lying modes of quark propagation. After reviewing the essentials of this method we show results for elastic pion-pion scattering amplitudes and determine a simple resonance photoproduction amplitude, the isovector timelike pion form factor, which is an important low-energy contribution to the hadronic vacuum polarization.
