We present a high-precision study of the topological susceptibility in $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory in four space-time dimensions. The result is based on ensembles at seven lattice spacings and in seven physical volumes to facilitate a…
The celebrated holographic duality posits a correspondence between a quantum gravity in a bulk spacetime and a quantum field theory (QFT) defined on its lower-dimensional boundary. This duality not only offers deep insights into the…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite density is most often formulated on the lattice as a grand canonical ensemble. Since lattice QCD has a complex action problem at finite baryo-chemical potential ($\mu_B$), its results at finite density…
We present a lattice QCD calculation of the electric polarizability of the charged kaon using a four-point function approach, which is the Euclidean analog of low-energy Compton scattering. In the case of the charged kaon, the…
We present a lattice QCD study of heavy baryons containing charm and bottom quarks, with particular emphasis on the relativistic treatment of all valence quarks. We use $N_f=2+1+1$ HISQ ensembles at the physical point to compute…
Spectral functions play a central role in the characterization of a wide range of physical systems, including strongly interacting quantum field theories and many-body systems. Their non-perturbative determination from Euclidean correlation…
We propose a variant of the model-independent method for determining meson charge radii from spatial moments of correlation functions on the lattice. Traditional determinations based on fits to the momentum transfer squared dependence of…
Hilbert space fragmentation refers to exponential growth in the number of dynamically disconnected Krylov sectors with system size. It is taken as evidence of ergodicity breaking, since conventional symmetries generate at most a polynomial…
In this review I summarize how machine learning can be used in lattice gauge theory simulations and what ap\-proaches are currently available to improve the sampling of gauge field configurations, with a focus on applications in…
The complex Langevin approach is a promising method for the numerical treatment of systems with a sign problem, for which conventional lattice field theory techniques based on importance sampling cannot be applied. However, complex Langevin…
We determine the interaction potential of a solitonic dipole in the singlet state, modeled as an SU(2) field, using improved lattice simulations of two stationary solitons at varying separations. The potential is extracted from the energy…
The $U(1)_A$ symmetry of the massless QCD Lagrangian is explicitly broken by the axial anomaly, but it may be effectively restored at finite temperature. Determining the temperature at which this occurs is important for understanding the…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) admits a topological $\bar{\theta}$ term that violates charge-parity ($CP$) symmetry, yet experiments indicate that $\bar{\theta}$ is extremely small. To investigate this problem in a controlled setting, we…
When Abelian monopoles due to violation of the non-Abelian Bianchi identity J{\mu}(x) condense in the vacuum, color confinement of QCD is realized by the Abelian dual Meissner effect. Moreover VNABI affects also topological features of QCD.…
Sampling lattice field theories near criticality is severely hindered by critical slowing down, which makes standard Markov chain methods increasingly inefficient at large lattice volumes. We introduce a multiscale generative sampler,…
Relativistic wavefunctions of nucleon excitations are scrutinised to understand their node structure and the underlying role of local interpolating fields in generating the nucleon spectrum. In addressing quark model perspectives,…
We introduce a renormalization-group invariant observable, the symmetry strength parameter $\kappa_{AB}$, for the quantitative characterization of symmetry breaking in QCD. As a first application, we employ $\kappa_{AB}$ to investigate the…
We present a comprehensive tensor network study of staggered, Wilson, and twisted mass fermions in the Hamiltonian formulation, using the massive two-flavor Schwinger model as a benchmark. Particular emphasis is placed on twisted mass…
We present a tensor-network formulation for the strong-coupling expansion of QCD with staggered quarks at nonzero chemical potential, for arbitrary number of dimensions, colors, and flavors. We integrate out the gauge and quark degrees of…
We simulate the thermalization dynamics for minimally truncated SU(2) pure gauge theory on linear plaquette chains with up to 151 plaquettes using IBM quantum computers. We study the time dependence of the entanglement spectrum, R\'enyi-2…
