It has been speculated that the CP symmetry of 4D SU(3) Yang-Mills theory at $\theta=\pi$ is spontaneously broken in the confined phase, and it is recovered precisely at the deconfining temperature. The direct simulation of the theory at…
Topological invariants and their associated anomalies have played a crucial role in understanding low-energy phenomena in quantum field theories. In lattice gauge theory, the standard $\mathbb{Z}$-valued Atiyah-Singer index is formulated…
The QCD Equation of State with $N_f=3$ massless quark flavours is determined non-perturbatively over a broad range of temperatures, extending from the electroweak scale down to 3 GeV, and smoothly connecting to the low-temperature regime.…
We present a nonperturbative Hamiltonian framework (NPHF) to address the general $N$-body problem. This framework rigorously connects finite-volume spectra from lattice QCD to scattering observables from experiment. To demonstrate its…
We study the mass spectra and various mass differences of heavy hadrons containing one or more bottom quarks using MILC's $N_f = 2+1+1$ HISQ gauge ensembles at three lattice spacings. For the valence quarks, we employ a combination of…
This contribution investigates baryonic flux tube configurations in $SU(3)$ Yang--Mills theory in $(2+1)$ dimensions. Leveraging recent next-to-leading-order results within the Effective String Theory (EST) framework, which explicitly…
We report the S-wave interactions between the nucleon ($N$) and the triply charmed Omega baryon ($\Omega_{\mathrm{ccc}}$) using (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with a physical pion mass ($m_\pi \simeq 137.1$ MeV) on a lattice volume $\simeq…
We present a lattice QCD spectroscopy study of the conjectured H dibaryon for 5 different channels at nine different temperatures. The H dibaryon operator is constructed with five different channels which are flavor singlet, flavor 27-plet,…
We present a first systematic study of $I=1/2$ proton-$\Lambda$ ($p$-$\Lambda$) scattering from lattice QCD, using seven sets of $(2+1)$-flavor lattice ensembles with pion masses spanning 135-317 MeV and three lattice spacings with…
The quantum simulation of topological phases in (2+1)D quantum electrodynamics with Wilson fermions provides a promising route toward realizing topological phenomena in near-term lattice experiments. We show that the commonly used…
This work is the second installment of a series on the loop-string-hadron (LSH) approach to SU(3) lattice Yang-Mills theory. Here, we present the infinite-dimensional matrix representation for arbitrary gauge-invariant operators at a…
We report on the determination of the gradient flow scales in $N_f=2+1$ QCD using highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) ensembles generated by the HotQCD Collaboration for bare gauge couplings ranging from $\beta = 6.423$ to $8.400$. Using…
We present our updated results on the intrinsic width of the profile of the flux tube in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with SU(2) gauge group. We identify the intrinsic width as the characteristic length scale of the exponentially…
Symplectic quantization is a functional approach to quantum field theory that allows sampling of quantum fluctuations directly in Minkowski space time by means of a generalized Hamiltonian dynamics in an extra time variable $\tau$ which, at…
I review the physics of lattice fermions obeying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. I describe their relation to domain wall fermions. I give a description of methodology for performing numerical simulations with overlap fermions. This is a…
Quantum simulation offers a powerful approach to studying quantum field theories, particularly (2+1)D quantum electrodynamics (QED$_3$) with Wilson fermions, which hosts a rich landscape of physical phenomena. A key challenge in lattice…
We investigate the impact of including a dynamical charm quark on the properties of light hadrons. Our study uses gauge ensembles generated with the tadpole-improved Symanzik gauge action, comparing 2+1+1 flavor (HISQ fermion) ensembles at…
In this work, we investigate the time-like pion form factor from lattice QCD in the isosymmetric limit, a quantity that plays an important role in understanding hadron physics with substantial phenomenological applications. This observable…
For twenty years, a persistent discrepancy between experimental measurements and theoretical calculations of the muon anomalous magnetic moment have provided tantalising hints of new physics. In recent years, improvements to the…
The Collins-Soper (CS) kernel may be obtained through the TMD soft function by formulating the Wilson line in terms of 1-dimensional auxiliary fermion fields on the lattice. Our computation takes place in the region of the lattice that…
