High Energy Physics - Lattice
The precision of lattice QCD calculations is often hindered by the stochastic noise inherent in these methods. The control variates method can provide an effective noise reduction but are typically constructed using heuristic approaches,…
The tensor renormalization group is a promising complementary approach to traditional Monte Carlo methods for lattice systems, as it is inherently free from the sign problem. We discuss recent developments crucial for its application to…
I review the qualitative physical distinction between the Higgs and confinement phases of a gauge Higgs theory, and the non-local order parameter introduced by Matsuyama and myself which identifies the two phases. I then present some new…
We investigate the $N_f=2$ Schwinger model with the massive staggered fermions in the presence of a $2\pi$ periodic $\theta$ term, using the Grassmann tensor renormalization group. Thanks to the Grassmann tensor network formulation, there…
We calculate the mixing matrices of four-quark operators that change flavor numbers by two units. Our approach employs two schemes: the coordinate-space Gauge Invariant Renormalization Scheme (GIRS) and the Modified Minimal Subtraction…
We present the results for the nucleon axial-vector, induced pseudoscalar and pion-nucleon couplings obtained from 2+1 flavor lattice QCD at the physical point with a large spatial extent of about 10 fm. Our calculations are performed with…
Understanding the behavior of dense hadronic matter is a central goal in nuclear physics as it governs the nature and dynamics of astrophysical objects such as supernovae and neutron stars. Because of the non-perturbative nature of quantum…
We study the behaviour of the flux tube in the reconfined phase of the trace deformed $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ Yang-Mills theory in (2 + 1) dimensions. In this phase the Polyakov loop has a vanishing expectation value (and center symmetry is…
$Z(2)$ lattice gauge theory plays an important role in the study of the threshold probability of Quantum Error Correction (QEC) for a quantum code. For certain QEC codes, such as the well-known Kitaev's toric/surface code, one can find a…
Low-lying Dirac modes become localized at the finite-temperature transition in QCD and other gauge theories, indicating a strong connection between localization and deconfinement. This phenomenon can be understood through the "sea/islands"…
We present a model-independent method to calculate the radiative transition without the momentum extrapolation for the off-shell transition factors. The on-shell transition factor is directly obtained from the lattice hadronic function. We…
The spectrum of static-light and static-charm mesons is studied using optimized distillation in two different $N_{\rm{f}} = 3 + 1$ QCD ensembles with pion masses of $m_{\pi} \approx 800 \, \text{MeV}$ and $m_{\pi} \approx 420 \,\text{MeV}$…
The temperature dependence of bottomonium correlators up to the 3S and 3P excited states are presented in the range $T \simeq 133-250$ MeV. These lattice calculations employ the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) approach for bottom quarks on…
The simulation of quantum lattice gauge theories faces the major challenge of maintaining gauge invariance, as various errors in the simulation push the state of the system out of the physical subspace of the system's exponentially larger…
In this talk, I describe some recent ideas relating to the spectral reconstruction inverse problem, which arises frequently in lattice QCD calculations of inclusive hadronic quantities, and provide some physical context for this work.…
We propose a method to construct the initial tensor representation of partition functions and observables for the tensor renormalization group (TRG). The TRG is a numerical calculation technique that utilizes a tensor network…
The pure $SU(N)$ gauge theory with a $\theta$ term has the $\mathbb{Z}_N$ $1$-form global symmetry. When this symmetry is gauged, it is formally established that the topological charge becomes fractional. In this talk, we generate gauge…
We present the first determination of the topological susceptibility from lattice QCD in the presence of strong background magnetic fields. Our simulations employ 2+1 flavours of stout improved staggered quarks with physical masses and…
We explore the first-order phase transition in the lattice Schwinger model in the presence of a topological $\theta$-term by means of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Using two different fermion discretizations, Wilson and…
We present the first lattice gauge theory results for hybrid spin-dependent and hybrid-quarkonium mixing potentials appearing at order $(1 /m_Q)^1$ in the Born-Oppenheimer Effective Field theory for hybrid mesons with gluon spin…
