Given the rapid advances in quantum computing hardware, establishing systematic strategies for verifying the correctness of quantum computations has become increasingly important. Exploiting the fact that the axial anomaly in gauge theories…
The light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) is a fundamental non-perturbative quantity for understanding hadron structure and exclusive scattering processes. We report on our calculation of the pion and kaon LCDAs using the heavy-quark…
Gauge fixing is an essential step in lattice QCD calculations, particularly for studying gauge-dependent observables. Traditional iterative algorithms are computationally expensive and often suffer from critical slowing down and scaling…
We study some interesting aspects of the spectral properties of SU(3) gauge theory, both with and without dynamical quarks (QCD) at thermal equilibrium using lattice gauge theory techniques. By calculating the eigenstates of a massless…
In the present work we construct a novel generative architecture for systems with complex probability distributions. In general, these sampling tasks come with two challenges: resolving sign problems and efficient sampling. The architecture…
We present an update on the determination of the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment in isospin-symmetric QCD by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration. The calculation is based on…
Precision tests of the Standard Model (SM) currently show a deficit in first-row Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity. In this talk, we discuss progress towards a correlated analysis of the lattice-QCD inputs needed to test this…
Normalizing flows can be used to construct unbiased, reduced-variance estimators for lattice field theory observables that are defined by a derivative with respect to action parameters. This work implements the approach for observables…
We review recent developments in tensor network approaches, focusing on renormalization group methods. Since they are free from the negative sign and complex action problems, there is growing interest in their application to lattice field…
We investigate critical phenomena in the $O(2)$ models using symmetry-twisted partition functions that can be efficiently computed within the tensor renormalization group framework. We first demonstrate, taking the three-dimensional model…
This work presents the first lattice calculation of a two-to-two particle matrix element of a local current. This exploratory calculation is performed using a leading-order pionless effective field theory of two nucleons in a finite 3D…
The leading-order low-energy constant $\Delta_{\rm mix}$ in mixed-action chiral perturbation theory is calculated using $2+1+1$-flavor gauge ensembles with HISQ fermions and a tadpole-improved Symanzik gauge action at four lattice spacings…
Large Momentum Effective Theory (LaMET) provides a general framework for computing the multi-dimensional partonic structure of the proton from first principles using lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this effective field theory…
Large-Momentum Effective Theory (LaMET) is a physics-guided systematic expansion to calculate light-cone parton distributions, including collinear (PDFs) and transverse-momentum-dependent ones, at any fixed momentum fraction $x$ within a…
We present a determination of the bottom quark mass, the masses of S-wave bottom mesons, and their decay constants using an anisotropic clover fermion discretization for the heavy quark, on $2+1$ flavor isotropic QCD ensembles. Our analysis…
We present new non-perturbative results about the meson spectrum and the low-energy constants of QCD in the 't Hooft large-$N$ limit, $N\to\infty$ with $N_{\scriptscriptstyle{\rm f}}/N\to 0$. These are obtained from lattice Monte Carlo…
Acceptance plenary talk for the 2025 Kenneth G.~Wilson Award for Excellence in Lattice Field Theory: For significant contributions to the understanding of topology in QCD, QCD-like, and large-$N_c$ gauge theories, including algorithmic…
We show that a simple qubit-regularized $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ lattice gauge theory (LGT) on a plaquette chain admits a continuum limit with massive glueball excitations, providing a minimal toy model of strong interactions without quarks. By…
Is there a quantum utility in establishing the masses of hadrons? Here we show that the best response is that of Farr\'es, Cap\'o, and Davis: perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. This is interesting given the general case that particle physics…
In this work, we explore a numerical approach for performing the inverse Laplace transformation, with an emphasis on achieving stability and robustness under noisy conditions. Our quadrature-based method integrates reparameterization, data…
