The infamous sign problem makes it impossible to probe dense (baryon density $\mu_B>0$) QCD at temperatures near or below the deconfinement threshold. As a workaround, one can explore QCD-like theories such as two-colour QCD (QC2D) which…
Nonperturbative determinations of the renormalization group (RG) $\beta$ function are crucial to understand properties of gauge-fermion systems at strong coupling and connect lattice simulations and the perturbative ultraviolet regime.…
We perform perturbative computations in a lattice gauge theory with a conformal measure that is quadratic in a non-compact abelian gauge field and is nonlocal, as inspired by the induced gauge action in massless QED$_3$. In a previous work,…
A new approach is presented to explore the singularity structure of lattice QCD in the complex chemical potential plane. Our method can be seen as a combination of the Taylor expansion and analytic continuation approaches. Its novelty lies…
We present the first calculation in lattice QCD of the process $\gamma K \to K\pi$ in which the narrow $K^*$ vector resonance appears. Using a lattice on which the pion has a mass of 284 MeV, we determine the transition amplitude at 128…
We discuss the use of quantum simulation to study an $N$ flavor theory of interacting relativistic fermions in(1+1) dimensions on NISQ era machines. The case of two flavors is particularly interesting as it can be mapped to the Hubbard…
Using high-statistics datasets generated in (2+1)-flavor QCD calculations at finite temperature we construct estimators for the radius of convergence from an eighth order series expansion of the pressure as well as the number density. We…
The Bielefeld Parma collaboration has recently put forward a method to investigate the QCD phase diagram based on the computation of Taylor series coefficients at both zero and imaginary values of the baryonic chemical potential. The method…
It is often taken for granted that Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) are defined in the "symmetric" frame, where the transferred momentum is symmetrically distributed between the incoming/outgoing hadrons. However, such frames pose…
We report progress in the calculation of the thermal interquark potential of bottomonium using the HAL QCD method applied to bottom quarks in the non-relativistic approximation (i.e. NRQCD). We exploit the fast Fourier transform algorithm,…
Using the high statistics datasets of the HotQCD Collaboration, generated with the HISQ (2+1)-flavor action for light and strange quarks, and treating the charm sector in the quenched approximation, we analyze the second and fourth order…
We present results for the electromagnetic form factors of the proton and neutron computed on the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) ensembles with $N_f = 2 + 1$ flavors of $\mathcal{O}(a)$-improved Wilson fermions and an…
Traditionally, lattice QCD computations of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) have been carried out in a symmetric frame, where the transferred momentum is symmetrically distributed between the incoming and outgoing hadrons. However,…
We investigate the effect of $U (1)$ gauge field on lattice fermion systems with a curved domain-wall mass term. In the same way as the conventional flat domain-wall fermion, the chiral edge modes appear localized at the wall, whose Dirac…
Future quantum computers will enable novel sign-problem-free studies of dynamical phenomena in non-perturbative quantum field theories, including real-time evolution and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. We are investigating applications…
The first step of any QFT calculation, aiming at phenomenological predictions, is the matching of the theory to Nature. The matching procedure fixes the parameters of the theory in terms of an equal number of external inputs that, if the…
Generative models, such as the method of normalizing flows, have been suggested as alternatives to the standard algorithms for generating lattice gauge field configurations. Studies with the method of normalizing flows demonstrate the proof…
We present an update of our ongoing study of the SU(2) gauge theory with one flavor of Dirac fermion in the adjoint representation. Compared to our previous results we now have data at larger lattice volumes, smaller values of the fermion…
Following the publication of the new measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, the discrepancy between experiment and the theory prediction from the $g-2$ theory initiative has increased to $4.2\,\sigma$. Recent lattice QCD…
We employ the domain wall fermion (DWF) formulation of the Thirring model on a lattice in 2+1+1 dimensions and perform $N=1$ flavor Monte Carlo simulations. At a critical interaction strength the model features a spontaneous…
