In recent years, there have been significant developments in heavy quarkonium production, both in theory and in experiment. These developments may have important implications for the use of charmonium as a probe in heavy-ion collisions. A…
We discuss a number of prominent theoretical challenges in the physics of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, and review some recent attempts to tackle them. These examples cover most stages of the collision process, but emphasis is…
Within an effective field theory framework we study heavy-quark--antiquark systems with a typical distance between the heavy quark and the antiquark smaller than $1/\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. A suitable definition of the potential is given within…
The heaviest fermion is expected to couple strongly to new physics and appears therefore as a natural probe in many BSM scenarios. Moreover, top physics has now entered in a precision era thanks to the huge amount of top quarks produced at…

The heavy quarkonium static potential is discussed within the framework of potential NRQCD. Some quantitative statements are made in the kinematical situation $mv >> \Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ at the level of accuracy of the next-to-leading order…
Baryons made of two or three heavy quarks can be described in the modern language of non-relativistic effective field theories. These, besides allowing a rigorous treatment of the systems, provide new insight in the nature of the three-body…

We discuss recent advances in applying Quantum Information Science to problems in high-energy nuclear physics. After outlining key developments, open challenges, and emerging connections between these disciplines, we highlight recent…
A few topics on the expansion in heavy quark mass are discussed. The theoretical framework is the Wilson Operator Product Expansion rather than the Heavy Quark Effective Theory.
Recent achievements in the heavy quark theory are critically reviewed. The emphasis is put on those aspects which either did not attract enough attention or cause heated debates in the current literature. Among other topics we discuss (i)…
