The properties of strongly-coupled lattice gauge theories at finite density as well as in real time have largely eluded first-principles studies on the lattice. This is due to the failure of importance sampling for systems with a complex…
This review is devoted to summarizing recent developments of the linear sigma model (LSM) in cold and dense two-color QCD (QC$_2$D), in which lattice simulations are straightforwardly applicable thanks to the disappearance of the sign…

$G_2$-QCD, in which the exceptional Lie group $G_2$ replaces the $SU(3)$ gauge group of QCD, does not suffer from a fermion sign problem. It can therefore be simulated also at comparatively low temperatures and high densities on the…

Most lattice studies of hot and dense QCD matter rely on extrapolation from zero or imaginary chemical potentials. The ill-posedness of numerical analytic continuation puts severe limitations on the reliability of such methods. We studied…
Lattice field theory with the $\theta$ term suffers from the sign problem. The sign problem appears as flattening of the free energy. As an alternative to the conventional method, the Fourier transform method (FTM), we apply the maximum…
The lattice QCD simulation with the lattice chiral symmetry is very attractive, however, it is difficult to maintain the symmetry at a modest numerical computation cost. A candidate to reduce the computational cost during the configuration…
Inspired by the results of the Ising model within an imaginary external magnetic field, we introduce a transformation in quantum systems with a theta-vacuum term that amounts to a rescaling of z=cos(theta/2). Making use of this…
We discuss the Fermion sign problem and, by examining a very general Hubbard-Stratonovich (HS) transformation, argue that the sign problem cannot be solved with such methods. We propose a different kind of transformation which, while not…
We study scalar QCD at nonzero density in the strong coupling limit. It has a sign problem which looks structurally similar to the one in QCD. We show first data for the reweighting factor. After introducing dual variables by integrating…
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of quantum many body systems are plagued by the Fermion sign problem. The computational complexity of simulating Fermions scales exponentially in the projection time $\beta$ and system size. The sign problem…
