We present the first lattice QCD results of the second order fluctuations of and correlations among net baryon number, electric charge and strangeness in (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD in the presence of a background magnetic field with physical…
We propose a new application of lattice QCD to calculate the quark-diquark potential, diquark mass and quark mass required for the diquark model. As a concrete example, we consider the $\Lambda_c$ baryon and treat it as a…
Lattice quantum chromodynamics has proven to be an indispensable method to determine nonperturbative strong contributions to weak decay processes. In this white paper for the Snowmass community planning process we highlight achievements and…
Heavy quarks placed within a hot QCD medium undergo Brownian motion, characterized by specific transport coefficients. Their determination can be simplified by expanding them in $T/M$, where $T$ is the temperature and $M$ is a heavy quark…
Taylor expansion of the thermodynamic potential in powers of the (baryo)chemical potential $\mu_B$ is a well-known method to bypass the Sign Problem of Lattice QCD. Due to the difficulty in calculating the higher order Taylor coefficients,…
We present an ab initio study of inclusive semileptonic decays of heavy mesons from lattice QCD. Our approach is based on a recently proposed method, that allows one to address the study of these decays from the analysis of smeared spectral…
We present a calculation of the proton momentum and angular momentum decompositions using overlap fermions on a $2+1$-flavor RBC/UKQCD domain-wall lattice at 0.143 fm with a pion mass of 171 MeV which is close to the physical one. A…
In the early days of QCD, the axial $U(1)$ anomaly was considered as a trigger for the breaking of the $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ symmetry through topological excitations of gluon fields. However, it has been a challenge for lattice QCD to…
Theoretical predictions of the proton--neutron mass difference and measurements of the proton's charge radius require inputs from the Compton amplitude subtraction function. Model-dependent and non-relativistic calculations of this…
Recently, Hoshina, Fujii, and Kikukawa pointed out that the naive lattice gauge theory action in Minkowski signature does not result in a unitary theory in the continuum limit, and Kanwar and Wagman proposed alternative lattice actions to…
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) essential phase transition in the 2d XY model is revisited. Its mechanism is usually described by the (un)binding of vortex--anti-vortex (V--AV) pairs, which does, however, not provide a clear-cut…
In this paper we study the large $N$ limit of four-dimensional Supersymmetric Yang-Mills on the lattice using twisted reduced models. We have generated configurations with dynamical massive gluinos and various lattice 't Hooft couplings,…
The lattice regularized pure gauge compact U(1) theory is an ideal laboratory to explore how confinement is realized as its phase diagram has a confined and a deconfined phase that depends on the value of the coupling constant, i.e. on…
Calculations of neutrino-nucleus cross sections begin with the neutrino-nucleon interaction, making the latter critically important to flagship neutrino oscillation experiments, despite limited measurements with poor statistics.…
We perform the real-time lattice simulation of an open quantum system, which is based on the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral representation of the Lindblad formalism. Although the real-time simulation generally suffers from the sign…
We report on our computation of the pion transition form factor ${\cal F}_{P\rightarrow \gamma^*\gamma^*}$ from twisted mass lattice QCD in order to determine the numerically dominant light pseudoscalar pole contribution in the hadronic…
We discuss the relation of three methods to determine energy levels in lattice QCD simulations: the generalised eigenvalue, the Prony and the generalised pencil of function methods. All three can be understood as special cases of a…
We discuss results for the Roberge Weiss (RW) phase transition at nonzero imaginary baryon and isospin chemical potentials, in the plane of temperature and quark masses. Our study focuses on the light tricritical endpoint which has already…
Imaginary chemical potentials serve as a useful tool to constrain the QCD phase diagram and to gain insight into the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter. In this study, we report on the first determination of the phase diagram for…
Conventional lattice formulations of $\theta$ vacua in the $1+1$-dimensional $\text{O}(3)$ nonlinear sigma model suffer from a sign problem. Here, we construct the first sign-problem-free regularization for arbitrary $\theta$. Using…
