This is an overview of quark flavor physics as presented in a plenary talk at Lattice 2023. In the first part, I discuss the main processes and lattice-QCD inputs used to determine the Wolfenstein parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…
We calculate the kaon semileptonic form factors in lattice QCD with three flavors of dynamical overlap quarks. Gauge ensembles are generated at pion masses as low as 290 MeV and at a strange quark mass near its physical value. We precisely…
We present results of a numerical calculation of lattice QCD with two degenerate flavors of dynamical quarks, identified with up and down quarks, and with a strange quark treated in the quenched approximation. The lattice action and…
We present a lattice QCD calculation of the form factors and differential decay rates for semileptonic decays of the heavy-light mesons $B$ and $D$ to the final state $\pi l\nu$. The results are obtained with three methodological…
In lattice QCD, obtaining properties of heavy-light mesons has been easier said than done. Focusing on the $B$ meson's decay constant, it is argued that towards the end of 1997 the last obstacles were removed, at least in the quenched…
In this talk I want to convey an idea about the perspectives for precise lattice QCD computations. Some emphasis is put on the field of flavour physics, where lattice QCD seems to be needed the most in the quantitative interpretation of…
I review two subjects in which lattice simulations are making, or can make in the future, a significant contribution to particle physics phenomenology. The first subject is the evaluation of quantities which enter into the determination of…
QCD lattice simulations with 2+1 flavours (when two quark flavours are mass degenerate) typically start at rather large up-down and strange quark masses and extrapolate first the strange quark mass and then the up-down quark mass to its…
The current status of the search for the critical end point on the lattice and in experiments is discussed. A naive extrapolation is given of lattice results on the location of the critical end point to the continuum limit with the correct…
We discuss the status of the RBC & UKQCD collaboration's lattice determination of $\epsilon'$, the measure of direct CP-violation in kaon decays, focusing in particular on recent developments in statistical techniques for estimating…
We present results for the light quark masses and the neutral kaon mixing parameter $B_K$ from lattice QCD. Our data set includes lighter than physical light quark masses and 5 lattice spacings so that chiral extrapolation is not necessary…
I review recent lattice computations of the matrix element relevant for K0-K0bar mixing and discuss the advantages of fermions with an exact chiral symmetry to compute K->pipi amplitudes.
Recent results on pion physics from lattice QCD are reviewed. We discuss quark mass dependences of pion mass and decay constant and compare them with the predictions from chiral perturbation theory. In particular we focus on the convergence…
We present selected topics on heavy-light physics on the lattice in order to illustrate the current status of this field. In particular results concerning $f_B$, semileptonic decays, the decay $B \rightarrow K^*\gamma$ and heavy baryon…
We present a determination of the strange quark mass using lattice QCD. Particular focus is put on the definition and renormalization of the mass. The latter is done non-perturbatively, using a recursive finite-size scaling technique. The…
Usually the simulation of scattering processes in lattice QCD is carried out at unphysically high values of the quark masses. Hence, a method to extrapolate data obtained in lattice calculations to physical masses is needed to allow for…
I review recent progress in finite temperature lattice calculations, including calculations of Equation of State, fluctuations of conserved charges and spatial correlation functions. I compare lattice results with the predictions of hadron…

We present the results of a first-principles theoretical study of the inclusive semileptonic decays of the $D_{s}$ meson. We performed a state-of-the-art lattice QCD calculation by taking into account all sources of systematic errors. A…
