One major systematic uncertainty of lattice QCD results is due to the continuum extrapolation. For an asymptotically free theory like QCD one finds corrections of the form $a^{n_\mathrm{min}}[2b_0\bar{g}^2(1/a)]^{\hat{\Gamma}_i}$ with…
The thermodynamics of QCD with sufficiently heavy dynamical quarks can be described by a three-dimensional Polyakov loop effective theory, obtained after a truncated character and hopping expansion. We investigate the resulting phase…
We report an ongoing analysis of nucleon-nucleon scattering based on finite-volume spectroscopy. The calculation is performed using the distillation method on eight lattice ensembles at the SU(3)-symmetric point with $m_\pi=m_K\approx 420$…
Master-field simulations offer an approach to lattice QCD in which calculations are performed on a small number of large-volume gauge-field configurations. The latter is advantageous for simulations in which the global topological charge is…
With the long term perspective of using quantum computers and tensor networks for lattice gauge theory simulations, an efficient method of digitizing gauge group elements is needed. We thus present our results for a handful of…
There is increasing interest in the study of nonperturbative aspects of three-dimensional quantum field theories (QFT). They appear as holographic dual to theories of (strongly coupled) gravity. For instance, in Holographic Cosmology, the…
Optimized meson operators in the distillation framework are used to study the charmonium spectrum in two ensembles with two heavy dynamical quarks at half the physical charm quark mass but different lattice spacings. The use of optimal…
Singly, doubly and triply charmed baryons are investigated at multiple temperatures using the anisotropic FASTSUM 'Generation 2L' ensembles. We discuss the temperature dependence of these baryons' spectra in both parity channels with a…
We present a lattice determination of the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_{\mu}^{\rm HVP}$, in the so-called short and intermediate time-distance windows, $a_{\mu}^{\rm…
The Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) gives an expansion of inclusive decay rates of $b$-hadrons as a simultaneous series in $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_b$, in terms of perturbatively defined coefficients and non-perturbative matrix elements. Spectator…
Structure functions are the essential objects for understanding the deep inelastic scattering processes, providing valuable insight into the partonic structure of hadrons. A direct calculation of the Compton amplitude provides a…
The International Lattice Data Grid (ILDG) is a community-wide initiative to realize the sharing of primary data from lattice QCD simulations according to the principles of FAIR data. We recall the basic concepts of ILDG as a federation of…
In these proceedings we present an exact distillation setup with stabilised Wilson fermions at the SU(3) flavour symmetric point utilising the flexibility of the Grid and Hadrons software libraries. This work is a stepping stone towards a…
The energy dependency (running) of the strength of electromagnetic interactions $\alpha$ plays an important role in precision tests of the Standard Model. The running of the former to the $Z$ pole is an input quantity for global electroweak…
Motivated by recent progress in the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform, we investigate applications of finite-volume smeared spectral densities. These include the tuning of operator smearing, and the study of the finite-volume…
This study explores the utility of a kernel in complex Langevin simulations of quantum real-time dynamics on the Schwinger-Keldysh contour. We give several examples where we use a systematic scheme to find kernels that restore correct…
We review how lattice QCD can contribute to the prediction and the comprehension of tetraquarks, pentaquarks and related exotic hadrons, with at least one heavy quark. We include all families of exotic hadrons, except for the quarkless…
We present preliminary results for the renormalization functions (RFs) of a number of quark and gluon operators studied in lattice QCD using a gauge-invariant renormalization scheme (GIRS). GIRS is a variant of the coordinate-space…
Geometric properties of lattice quantum gravity in two dimensions are studied numerically via Monte Carlo on Euclidean Dynamical Triangulations. A new computational method is proposed to simulate gravity coupled with fermions, which allows…
We present the status of an ongoing project aimed at the inclusion of isospin-breaking corrections arising from the non-degeneracy of the light quark masses and electromagnetic interactions in calculations of the low-lying octet and…
