We perform a calculation of the glueball spectrum for $N_f=4$ degenerate dynamical fermions with masses corresponding to light pions. We do so by making use of ensembles produced within the framework of maximally twisted fermions by the…
The calculation of the neutron electric dipole moment within effective field theories for physics beyond the Standard Model requires non-perturbative hadronic matrix elements of effective operators composed of quark and gluon fields. In…
We investigate the influence of topological charges on non-stable zero and near-zero modes of the single uni-color plane vortex pairs. We combine the uni-color plane vortices with the spherical vortex and also construct the plane vortex…
Two particular ratios related to mesons are proposed for the study of the conformal window in $SU(3)$ gauge theory and fundamental fermions. Lattice and other studies indicate that the lower end, $N_f^*$, is at around 7 - 13 flavors which…
The cost of measuring quantum expectation values of an operator can be reduced by grouping the Pauli string ($SU(2)$ tensor product) decomposition of the operator into maximally commuting sets. We detail an algorithm, presented in [1], to…
Lattice gauge theories coupled to fermionic matter account for many interesting phenomena in both high energy physics and condensed matter physics. Certain regimes, e.g. at finite fermion density, are difficult to simulate with traditional…
In this report we present the status of the Mainz group's lattice QCD calculation of the pion transition form factor, which describes the interaction of an on-shell pion with two off-shell photons. This form factor is the main ingredient in…
$SU(N_c)$ gauge theories in the strong coupling limit can be described by integer variables representing monomers, dimers and baryon loops. We demonstrate how the D-wave quantum annealer can perform importance sampling on $U(N_c)$ gauge…
Measurements of nucleon and nuclei Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) play an important role in probing CP violation and exploring physics beyond the Standard Model. We extract the neutron EDM by measuring the energy shift of the nucleon…
A novel application of lattice QCD spectral reconstruction is presented, in which euclidean correlation function data in a fixed time range are used to infer values outside the range, enabling a model-independent investigation of the…
The current status of lattice-QCD numerical calculations by joint LHP, RBC, and UKQCD collaborations of nucleon isovector vector- and axialvector-current form factors using a 2+1-flavor dynamical domain-wall fermions lattice QCD ensemble…
We study the entanglement of gluon fields in presence of a static $Q\bar Q$ pair in quenched QCD. Using the replica method, we investigate the $q=2$ Renyi entropy of the entanglement of gluon fields inside and in the vicinity of the…
This study investigates the effects on the connected and disconnected correlations for the scalar density that are induced by created monopoles and instantons in the QCD vacuum. To reveal the effects, we add a monopole and anti-monopole…
We explore the limit at which the effective baryonic Y-string model of the junction approaches the mesonic stringlike behavior. We calculate and compare the numerical values of the static potential and energy-density correlators of…
We explore the 't Hooft-Veneziano limit of the Polyakov loop models at finite baryon chemical potential. Using methods developed by us earlier we calculate the two- and $N$-point correlation functions of the Polyakov loops. This gives a…
This study delves into the connection between machine learning and lattice field theory by linking generative diffusion models (DMs) with stochastic quantization, from a stochastic differential equation perspective. We show that DMs can be…
We simulate QED in a strong constant homogeneous external magnetic field on a euclidean space-time lattice using the Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo method, developed for simulating lattice QCD. Our primary goal is to measure the chiral…
We present results for the large-$N$ limit of the chiral condensate computed from twisted reduced models. We followed a two-fold strategy, one constiting in extracting the condensate from the quark-mass dependence of the pion mass, the…
Quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories are anticipated to directly probe the real time dynamics of QCD, but scale unfavorably with the required truncation of the gauge fields. Improved Hamiltonians are derived to correct for the…
We study the consequences of mode-collapse of normalizing flows in the context of lattice field theory. Normalizing flows allow for independent sampling. For this reason, it is hoped that they can avoid the tunneling problem of local-update…
