Abstract

We present an overview of the recent lattice determination of the QCD coupling αs\alpha_s by the ALPHA Collaboration. The computation is based on the non-perturbative determination of the Λ\Lambda-parameter of Nf=3N_{\rm f}=3 QCD, and the perturbative matching of the Nf=3N_{\rm f}=3 and Nf=5N_{\rm f}=5 theories. The final result: αs(mZ)=0.11852(84)\alpha_s(m_Z)=0.11852(84), reaches sub-percent accuracy.
