Distillation in lattice QCD is a smearing method that uses the lowest eigenvectors of the spatial Laplacian to construct a subspace in which the Dirac operator can be fully inverted. However, local multiquark interpolators are expensive in…
Lattice QCD is notorious for its computational expense. Modern lattice simulations require large-scale computational resources to handle the large number of Dirac operator inversions used to construct correlation functions. Machine learning…
In this study, we explore the renormalization of a comprehensive set of gauge-invariant gluon nonlocal operators on the lattice. We calculate the renormalization factors for these operators in the modified Minimal Subtraction $(\rm…
The integration of deep learning techniques and physics-driven designs is reforming the way we address inverse problems, in which accurate physical properties are extracted from complex data sets. This is particularly relevant for quantum…
We revisit QCD with three mass-degenerate quark flavors at an imaginary isospin chemical potential set to 4 pi T/3. This choice corresponds to a special point in the parameter space, where the theory possesses an exact Z(3) center symmetry.…
This is a pedagogical review of the possible connection between the stochastic quantization in physics and the diffusion models in machine learning. For machine-learning applications, the denoising diffusion model has been established as a…
The O(3) non-linear sigma model (NLSM) is a prototypical field theory for QCD and ferromagnetism, and provides a simple system in which to study topological effects. In lattice QCD, the gradient flow has been demonstrated to remove…
We present our preliminary results on the machine learning estimation of $\text{Tr} \, M^{-n}$ from other observables with the gradient boosting decision tree regression, where $M$ is the Dirac operator. Ordinarily, $\text{Tr} \, M^{-n}$ is…
We present the determination of the charm quark mass, the masses, and decay constants of charmed mesons using thirteen 2+1 flavor gauge ensembles at five different lattice spacings $a\in[0.05,0.11]$ fm, 8 pion masses $m_{\pi}\in(130,360)$…
Effective String Theory (EST) is a powerful tool used to study confinement in pure gauge theories by modeling the confining flux tube connecting a static quark-anti-quark pair as a thin vibrating string. Recently, flow-based samplers have…
We present quark number susceptibilities and conserved charge fluctuations for (2+1)-flavor QCD using M\"obius Domain Wall fermions with a pion mass of \(135~\rm{MeV}\). Our results are compared with hadron resonance gas models below the…
We present our calculation of the isospin-violating part of the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) contribution to muon $(g-2)$ in lattice QCD at the $SU(3)_{\mathrm{f}}$ symmetric point. The computation of the contributing fully connected…
This review provides a comprehensive summary of results on the physics of strongly interacting matter in the presence of background electromagnetic fields, obtained via numerical lattice simulations of the underlying theory, Quantum…
In the quenched electroweak theory on the lattice I construct a set of physical states which overlap the physical photon and Z boson states. This is done by employing eigenstates of the covariant lattice Laplacian, in addition to the Higgs…
The $SU(3)\otimes SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ standard model maps smoothly onto a conventional Wilson lattice gauge formalism, including the parity violation of the weak interactions. The formulation makes use of the pseudo-reality of the weak…
We study the shape of the flux tube in lattice Yang-Mills theories and in particular its intrinsic width. In the framework of the Effective String Theory description of the confining flux tube this intrinsic width has no measurable effects…
Investigating the dynamics of learning in machine learning algorithms is of paramount importance for understanding how and why an approach may be successful. The tools of physics and statistics provide a robust setting for such…
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the quark transverse spin-momentum correlation, i.e., the T-odd Boer-Mulders function, of the pion, using large-momentum effective theory (LaMET). The calculation is done at three lattice…
We study topological properties of classical spherical center vortices with the low-lying eigenmodes of the Dirac operator in the fundamental and adjoint representations using both the overlap and asqtad staggered fermion formulations. In…
We investigate the phase structure and the equation of state (EoS) for dense two-color QCD at low temperatures, $T = 40$ MeV ($32^4$ lattice) and $T = 80$ MeV ($16^4$ lattice). A rich phase structure below the pseudo-critical temperature…
