High Energy Physics - Lattice
In order to understand the role of QCD in the early universe, we perform hybrid Monte-Carlo simulation of lattice QCD with $N_f=2+1+1$ optimal domain-wall quarks at the physical point, on the $64^3 \times (6,8,10,12,16,20,64)$ lattices,…
We have studied finite temperature complex static quark-antiquark potentials for 2+1 flavor QCD using highly improved staggered action with physical strange quark masses and light quark masses corresponding to a pion mass of 161 MeV. We…
Estimating the free energy, as well as other thermodynamic observables, is a key task in lattice field theories. Recently, it has been pointed out that deep generative models can be used in this context [1]. Crucially, these models allow…
We report recent progress on the application of the tensor renormalization group (TRG) to quantum field theories pursued by the Tsukuba group. We explain how to treat the scalar, fermion, and gauge theories with the TRG method presenting…
We introduce a one-parameter family of SU(N) gauge actions which, when used in combination with an HMC update algorithm, prevent the gauge system from entering an artificial bulk-"phase". We briefly discuss the mechanism behind the…
Quantum link models (QLMs) are extensions of Wilson-type lattice gauge theories, and show rich physics beyond the phenomena of conventional Wilson gauge theories. Here we explore the physics of $U(1)$ symmetric QLMs, both using a more…
We present results for the isoscalar electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon computed on the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) ensembles with $N_\mathrm{f} = 2 + 1$ flavors of $\mathcal{O}(a)$-improved Wilson fermions and an…
We propose a direct method to calculate the decay width of a hadron decaying to two photons, which is conventionally obtained by an extrapolation for various off-shell form factors. The new method provides an simple way to examine the…
In this work we investigate the existence of bound states for doubly heavy tetraquark systems $ \bar{Q}\bar{Q}'qq' $ in a full lattice-QCD computation, where heavy bottom quarks are treated in the framework of non-relativistic QCD. We focus…
We discuss the successes and limitations of statistical sampling for a sequence of models studied in the context of lattice QCD and emphasize the need for new methods to deal with finite-density and real-time evolution. We show that these…
We present concluding results from our study for zero-temperature phase structure of the massive Thirring model in 1+1 dimensions with staggered regularisation. Employing the method of matrix product states, several quantities, including…
We explore the phase structure of the 1+1 dimensional Gross-Neveu model at finite number of fermion flavors using lattice field theory. Besides a chirally symmetric phase and a homogeneously broken phase we find evidence for the existence…
We investigate the sign problem in field theories by using the path optimization method with use of the neural network. For theories with the sign problem, integral in the complexified variable space is a promising approach to obtain a…
We report our study on the critical endpoint of the finite temperature phase transition in 4-flavor QCD with Wilson-Clover fermions. Using the kurtosis intersection method, we determined the critical endpoint on lattices with $N_t$ = 4, 6…
We perform hybrid Monte-Carlo simulation of $N_f=2+1+1 $ lattice QCD with domain-wall quarks at the physical point. The simulation is carried out on the $ L^3 \times T = 64^3 \times 64 $ lattice with lattice spacing $a \sim 0.064 $ fm ($ L…
In the Wilson's lattice formulation of QCD, a fermionic Fock space of states can be explicitly built at each time slice using canonical creation and annihilation operators. The partition function $Z$ is then represented as the trace of the…
We introduce a variational ansatz based on Gaussian states for (1+1)-dimensional lattice gauge models. To this end we identify a set of unitary transformations which decouple the gauge degrees of freedom from the matter fields. Using our…
We present results from an ongoing study of the phase diagram of (2+1)-flavor QCD using the HISQ action with smaller than physical light quark masses in the Roberge-Weiss (RW) plane on lattices with temporal extent $N_\tau=4$. We find that…
We report on the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic fields generated by a static quark-antiquark pair at zero temperature in pure gauge SU(3). From the spatial structure of chromoelectric field we extract its nonperturbative part and discuss…
Tensor Network States are ans\"atze for the efficient description of quantum many-body systems. Their success for one dimensional problems, together with the fact that they do not suffer from the sign problem and can address the simulation…
