This chapter, to appear in the section on QCD under extreme conditions within the Encyclopedia of Nuclear Physics, aims to provide a pedagogical introduction to the physics of quarks and gluons in the presence of high temperature, nonzero…
We discuss the calculation of the inclusive semileptonic decay for the process $B_s \to X_c \, l \nu_l$ using lattice QCD. This calculation could be decisive in understanding the long-standing tension between inclusive and exclusive…
This study explores confinement-deconfinement transition properties of SU($3$) Yang--Mills theory under weak accelerations at finite temperatures, using first-principles lattice simulations. The system is formulated in the Rindler…
Using first-principles numerical simulations, we find a new spatially inhomogeneous phase in a rotating gluon plasma. This mixed phase simultaneously contains regions of both confining and deconfining states in thermal equilibrium,…
We present the first lattice QCD determination of the electromagnetic form factors of the exotic tetraquark $T_{bb} \ (bb \bar u \bar d)$ with quantum numbers $I( J^P ) = 0( 1^+ )$. The extracted form factors encode information about its…
We present a first-principles determination of heavy meson light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) from lattice QCD in the continuum limit, improving substantially on our previous pioneering study. Within the heavy-quark large-momentum…
The type IIB matrix model has been proposed as a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. While numerical simulations of this model are essential for probing nonperturbative effects, such as the emergence of time and an expanding…
In this paper, we apply the deterministic quantum imaginary time evolution (QITE) algorithm to obtain the ground state of a $2+1$-dimensional pure $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory. We first construct the set of Pauli operators commuting…
We numerically investigate whether the center-symmetric confined phase of large-$N$ $SU(N)$ gauge theory with one adjoint Dirac fermion persists under spatial compactification on $\mathbb{R}^3 \times S^1$. To this end, we employ a partially…
We develop a systematic Hamiltonian formulation of minimally doubled lattice fermions in (3+1) dimensions, derive their nodal structures (structures of zeros), and classify their symmetry patterns for both four-component Dirac and…
In this work, we perform a lattice QCD calculation of the branching ratios and the form factors of radiative leptonic decays $P \to \ell \nu_\ell \gamma$ ($P = \pi, K$) using $N_f=2+1$ domain wall fermion ensembles generated by the RBC and…
Neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decays provide an excellent probe for determining whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana fermions. The short-range matrix elements associated with the $\pi^- \to \pi^+ ee$ process contribute at…
We present a new lattice QCD calculation of the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization (LO-HVP) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu$. We reduce uncertainties compared to our earlier computation arXiv:2002.12347 by…
Theoretical considerations predict a specific hierarchy among ratios of net-baryon number cumulants ($\chi_n$, where $n$ is the order of cumulant) in the vicinity of the transition from the low-temperature hadronic phase to the high…
We compute the Euclidean hadronic tensor from charge density operators and extract elastic and resonance structures by employing exponential fits to the four-point correlator, as well as a Bayesian reconstruction inverse algorithm to obtain…
The static energy is an excellent observable for extracting the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ on the lattice. For short distances, the static energy can be calculated both on the lattice using Wilson line correlators, and with perturbation…
We calculate second- and selected fourth-order conserved-charge fluctuations in $(2+1)$-flavor QCD using M\"obius domain-wall fermions (MDWF) along a line of constant physics. Gauge ensembles were generated for two light-to-strange…
We present preliminary results from a lattice-QCD study of the hadronic contributions to the running of the electromagnetic coupling, $\Delta\alpha(Q^2)$, and the electroweak mixing angle, $\Delta\sin^2\theta_{W}(Q^2)$. Using $N_f = 2+1+1$…
We present results for the inclusive semileptonic $D_s \to X_s \ell\bar\nu$ decay rate from lattice QCD. Chiral and continuum extrapolations are performed using gauge ensembles generated with 2+1 flavours of M\"obius domain-wall fermions.…
We propose a reconstruction of the full $(x, \xi, t)$ dependence of unpolarized isovector proton generalized parton distributions (GPDs) $H^{u-d}$ and $E^{u-d}$ from lattice QCD data in the pseudo-distribution formalism. For the first time,…
