We present the open-source package openQ*D-1.0, which has been primarily, but not uniquely, designed to perform lattice simulations of QCD+QED and QCD, with and without C* boundary conditions, and O(a) improved Wilson fermions. The use of…
We present the lattice QCD formulation in rotating frames. We start with the continuum QCD action in rotating frames, and then discretize it on the lattice. For the first test of the formulation, we calculate angular momentum in the…
Lattice QCD was invented thirty years ago but only in the last few years has it finally fulfilled its promise as a precision tool for calculations in hadron physics. This review will cover the fundamentals of discretising QCD onto a…

We study autocorrelation times of physical observables in lattice QCD as a function of the molecular dynamics trajectory length in the hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithm. In an interval of trajectory lengths where energy and reversibility…
The standard hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm is known to simulate even flavors QCD only. Simulations of odd flavors QCD, however, can be also performed in the framework of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm where the inverse of the fermion…

We investigate instability and reversibility within Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations using a non-perturbatively improved Wilson action. We demonstrate the onset of instability as tolerance parameters and molecular dynamics step sizes are…
It is well-known that molecular dynamics integrators, which are used for lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD), suffer from instabilities and possess a rather low order of the accuracy. Hence, it is highly desirable to construct a new class…
