Python is a particularly appealing language to carry out data analysis, owing in part to its user-friendly character as well as its access to well maintained and powerful libraries like NumPy and SciPy. Still, for the purpose of analyzing…
Staple-shaped Wilson line operators are necessary for the study of transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) in lattice QCD and beyond. In this work, we study the renormalization of such operators in the general…
We present new investigations on the Adjoint Filtering Method (AFM), a proposal for filtering gauge configurations by using adjoint zero modes. This method relies on the existence of the Supersymmetric Zero Mode (SZM), whose density follows…
We show how contour deformations may be used to control the sign problem of lattice Monte Carlo calculations with non-holomorphic actions. Such actions arise naturally in quantum mechanical scattering problems. The approach is demonstrated…
I review recent research and advances in algorithms for solvers and gauge generation, with an emphasis on practical algorithms for four dimensional simulations. Particular consideration is given to advances in multigrid solvers, fourier…
I present an overview of the calculations of the isovector axial vector form factor of the nucleon, $G_A(Q^2)$, using lattice QCD. Based on a comparison of results from various collaborations, a case is made that lattice results are now…
State-of-the-art lattice QCD simulations enable the evaluation of nucleon form factors and Mellin moments with controlled systematics, yielding results with unprecedented accuracy. At the same time, new theoretical approaches are allowing…
The experimental uncertainty on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has been significantly reduced with the recent results of the Fermilab $g-2$ experiment, and a further reduction is expected in the near future. The precision of the…
We report on status and perspectives of the International Lattice Data Grid. ILDG was established some twenty years ago as a community-wide initiative to enable the sharing of gauge configurations generated by many major lattice…
In large enough volumes, translation-averaging for quark-line connected diagrams reduces the variance inversely proportional to the volume. Stochastic estimators which implement translation averaging however introduce new sources of…
We compute the complete set of SM and tensor $B_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}^*\ell\bar{\nu}$ semileptonic form factors across the full kinematic range of the decay using second generation MILC $n_f=2+1+1$ HISQ gluon field configurations and HISQ…
Lattice field theory (LFT) is the standard non-perturbative method to perform numerical calculations of quantum field theory. However, the typical bottleneck of fermionic lattice calculations is the inversion of the Dirac matrix. This…
We study the $U(1)_A$ anomaly at high temperatures of $N_f=2+1$ lattice QCD with chiral fermions. Gauge ensembles are generated with M\"obius domain-wall (MDW) fermions, and the measurements are reweighted to those with overlap fermions. We…
We study the doubly charmed tetraquark state $T_{cc}^+$ by the HAL QCD method applied to the $D^*D$ system in $(2+1)$ flavor lattice QCD at nearly physical pion mass, $m_\pi= 146$ MeV. We obtain the attractive potential at all distances in…
We report on our study of the Riemannian Manifold HMC (RMHMC) algorithm with the mass term for the gauge momenta replaced by rational functions of the gauge covariant Laplace operator. A comparison of HMC and RMHMC on a 2+1+1 flavor…
We perform the scale setting procedure of a mixed action setup consisting of valence Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist on CLS ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of $O(a)$-improved Wilson sea quarks. We determine the gradient flow…
Based on simulations of 2+1 flavor lattice QCD with M\"obius domain wall fermions at high temperatures, we compute a series of spatial correlation functions to study the screening masses in mesonic states. We compare these masses with the…
Critical slowing down and topological freezing severely hinder Monte Carlo sampling of lattice field theories as the continuum limit is approached. Recently, significant progress has been made in applying a class of generative machine…
In this work, we present the first lattice QCD study on the invisible decay $J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma\nu\bar{\nu}$. The calculation is accomplished using $N_f=2$ twisted mass fermion ensembles. The excited-state effects are observed and…
The path optimization method, which is proposed to control the sign problem in quantum field theories with continuous degrees of freedom by machine learning, is applied to a spin model with discrete degrees of freedom. The path optimization…
