This paper is a review of recent lattice QCD results for $D$ and $D_s$ meson leptonic and semileptonic decays. The theory inputs needed for the determination of $V_{cd}$ and $V_{cs}$ from experimental results are the meson decay constants…

In this paper I review the status of lattice QCD calculations of $D$ and $D_s$ meson decay constants and of $D$ meson semileptonic decay form factors. I restrict my discussion to results obtained from simulations with $n_f = 2+1$ sea…
Hadron masses can be decomposed as a sum of quark and glue components which are defined through hadronic matrix elements of QCD operators. The components consist of the quark mass term, the quark energy term, the glue energy term, and the…

We argue that a Tau-Charm factory (TCF) could improve our knowledge of CKM matrix elements since it is an incomparable tool to check the models and methods applied to extract $V_{bu}$ from $B$ decay partial widths. We report on some recent…
This report discusses some recent investigations of the heavy hadron spectra using lattice QCD. The first half addresses multiple precision determinations of the masses of charm (and bottom) baryons. Recent lattice results in the tetraquark…
We report on a calculation of form factors for the semileptonic decay of $B$ meson to pion on $2+1$-flavour lattices with lattice spacings from 0.080 fm down to 0.044 fm. Using the M\"obius domain wall fermion action for both sea and…
We present the status of on-going calculations of the $K\to\pi l\nu$ and $D\to K(\pi) l\nu$ semileptonic form factors at $q^2=0$. These form factors are important for the determination of the CKM matrix elements $\lvert{V_{us}}\rvert$ and…
We calculate---for the first time in three-flavor lattice QCD---the hadronic matrix elements of all five local operators that contribute to neutral $B^0$- and $B_s$-meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model. We present a complete error…
We present a lattice QCD determination of the average up-down, strange and charm quark masses based on simulations performed by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration with $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ dynamical fermions. We simulated at three…
Our charm program uses a mixed action with twisted-mass valence quarks over non-perturbatively improved Wilson sea quarks, in order to study various quantities in a relativistic and manifestly local framework of full QCD. The sea sector…

We use lattice QCD to fully determine the CKM matrix. |V_{cd}|, |V_{cs}|, |V_{ub}|, |V_{cb}| and |V_{us}| are, respectively, directly determined with recent lattice results for form factors of semileptonic D->pi l nu, D->K l nu, B->pi l nu,…

We show that it is now possible to fully determine the CKM matrix, for the first time, using lattice QCD. |V_{cd}|, |V_{cs}|, |V_{ub}|, |V_{cb}| and |V_{us}| are, respectively, directly determined with our lattice results for form factors…
