We give details of our precise determination of the light quark masses m_{ud}=(m_u+m_d)/2 and m_s in 2+1 flavor QCD, with simulated pion masses down to 120 MeV, at five lattice spacings, and in large volumes. The details concern the action…
We study effective energies of heavy-light meson correlation functions in lattice QCD and a small volume of (0.2 fm)^4 to non-perturbatively calculate their dependence on the heavy quark mass in the continuum limit. Our quenched results…
The concept of a screening mass is a powerful tool to simplify the intricate physics of in-medium test charges surrounded by light charge carriers. While it has been successfully used to describe electromagnetic properties, its definition…
We study lattice QCD in the limit that the quark mass and chemical potential are simultaneously made large, resulting in a controllable density of quarks which do not move. This is similar in spirit to the quenched approximation for zero…
Nonperturbative inequalities constrain the thermodynamic pressure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with its phase-quenched version, a Sign-Problem-free theory amenable to lattice treatment. In the perturbative regime with a small QCD…
We give an update on our ongoing investigations of potentials between pairs of static-light mesons in Nf=2 Lattice QCD, in different spin and isospin channels. The question of attraction and repulsion is particularly interesting with…

Based on universal arguments it is believed that there is a critical point (E) in QCD on the temperature (T) versus chemical potential (\mu) plane, which is of extreme importance for heavy-ion experiments. Using finite size scaling and a…
Extending our recent work, we report on a calculation of the vector current correlation function for light valence quarks in the deconfined phase of quenched QCD in the temperature range 1.16Tc<T<2.98Tc. After performing a systematic…
We investigate chemical-potential (\mu) dependence of static-quark free energies in both the real and imaginary \mu regions, performing lattice QCD simulations at imaginary \mu and extrapolating the results to the real \mu region with…
The electrical conductivity in the hot phase of the QCD plasma is extracted from a quenched lattice measurement of the Euclidean time vector correlator for 1.5 < T/T_c < 3. The spectral density in the vicinity of the origin is examined…
We study the screening mass of the neutral rho-meson in the presence of strong magnetic fields using the Kroll-Lee-Zumino (KLZ) model. The rho-meson self-energy is computed at one-loop order within the lowest Landau level (LLL)…
Based on a machine learning holographic QCD model, we construct a systematical framework to investigate the properties of the scalar glueballs continuously from zero temperature to finite temperature. By using both the quasi-normal…
We propose a method to study lattice QCD at non-vanishing temperature (T) and chemical potential (\mu). We use n_f=2+1 dynamical staggered quarks with semi-realistic masses on L_t=4 lattices. The critical endpoint (E) of QCD on the…
The behavior of H-like ions embedded in astrophysical plasmas in the form of \emph{dense, strongly and weakly coupled} plasmas are investigated. In these, the increase and decrease in temperature is impacted with a change in confinement…
We construct the gauge invariant fermion correlator in the Schwinger model on the torus. At zero temperature, this correlator falls off with a rate given by the Coulomb energy of an infinitely heavy charge. At high temperature, the…
The production rate of a soft photon from a hot quark-gluon plasma is computed to leading order at logarithmic accuracy. The canonical hard-thermal-loop resummation scheme leads to logarithmically divergent production rate due to mass…

Ultra-fast laser experiments yield increasingly reliable data on warm-dense matter (WDM), but rely on entrenched simplistic theoretical models. We re-analyze two topical experiments, avoiding (i) {\it ad hoc} core-repulsion models, (ii)…
Recently, state-of-art LQCD calculations were done for $\pi$-meson and $\rho$-meson screening mass, ${M_{\pi}^{\rm scr}}(T)$ and ${M_{\rho}^{\rm scr}}(T)$. We consider the two-flavor system, and focus on temperature dependence $T$ of…
