Precise measurement of the $\pi\pi$-phase shift $\delta^0_0(E)$ at very low energies would provide, for the first time, the experimental evidence in favour of or against the existence of a large quark condensate in the QCD vacuum, which is…

The QCD coupling appears in the perturbative expansion of the current-current two-point (vacuum polarization) function. Any lattice calculation of vacuum polarization is plagued by several competing non-perturbative effects at small momenta…
The quark-gluon vertex is an important object of QCD. Studies have shown that this quantity is relevant for the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking pattern in the vacuum. The goal of our project is to obtain the quark-gluon vertex at finite…

We present a study of the structure of the chromoelectrical field created by a static quark-antiquark pair in lattice QCD with 2+1 flavours of dynamical quarks, where the quark masses are set to their physical values. The analysis covers a…

The complex matter-field lattice model is a ubiquitous and universal physics model that directly links to many universal spin models. However, finding the ground state of such a model for the most general interactions between the lattice…
