Extraction of hadronic observables at finite-momenta from Lattice QCD (LQCD) is constrained by the well-known signal-to-noise problems afflicting all such LQCD calculations. Traditional quark smearing algorithms are commonly used tools to…
The vast majority of hadrons observed in nature are not stable under the strong interaction, rather they are resonances whose existence is deduced from enhancements in the energy dependence of scattering amplitudes. The study of hadron…
A new multifermion formulation of lattice QCD is proposed. The model is free of spectrum doubling and preserves all nonanomalous chiral symmetries up to exponentially small corrections. It is argued that a small number of fermion fields may…
I review recent progress on algorithms for calculating quark propagators and for simulating full QCD.
The overlap operator is a lattice discretization of the Dirac operator of quantum chromodynamics, the fundamental physical theory of the strong interaction between the quarks. As opposed to other discretizations it preserves the important…
We present a new method for the study of heavy-light mesons in the static approximation of lattice QCD which is optimally effective in isolating ground and excited states. With ``MOST'' (Maximal Operator Smearing Technique), the heavy quark…
Using a ``wall'' of quark point sources, we invert the chirally improved Dirac operator to create an ``incoherent'' collection of quark propagators which originate from all spatial points of the source time slice. The lowest-order NRQCD…

A new method for computing all elements of the lattice quark propagator is proposed. The method combines the spectral decomposition of the propagator, computing the lowest eigenmodes exactly, with noisy estimators which are 'diluted', i.e.…
I apply a recently developed algorithm for reweighting simulations of lattice QCD from one quark mass to another to simulations performed with overlap fermions in the epsilon regime. I test it by computing the condensate from distributions…

Two measures are defined to evaluate the coupling strength of smeared interpolating operators to hadronic states at a variety of momenta. Of particular interest is the extent to which strong overlap can be obtained with individual…

We discuss the determination of deep-inelastic hadron structure in lattice QCD. By using a fictitious heavy quark, direct calculations of the Compton scattering tensor can be performed in Euclidean space that allow the extraction of the…
We develop a generalization of low-mode averaging in which the number of low quark modes of the Dirac operator required for a constant variance reduction can be kept independent of the volume by exploiting their local coherence. Typically…
We show that inconsistency between background field methods, which are relevant for lattice QCD spectroscopy, and effective field theory matching conditions, which are obtained from scattering amplitudes, can be resolved by augmenting…
We propose a preconditioning of the Dirac operator based on the factorisation of a predefined function related to the decay of the propagator with the distance. We show that it can improve the accuracy of correlators involving heavy quarks…
