An extension of the Dirac procedure for the quantization of constrained systems is necessary to address certain issues that are left open in Dirac's original proposal. These issues play an important role especially in the context of…
I present the state of our understanding of the QCD dynamics at play in the parton saturation regime of nuclear wave functions. I explain what are the biggest open questions in the field, their intrinsic interest, but also why is it…
Recently it was claimed that QCD condensates were associated with the internal dynamics of the hadrons. We challenge this "in-hadron" picture of the QCD condensates and show that it conflicts well established concepts and experimental facts…
An outstanding goal of physics is to find solutions that describe hadrons in the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). For this goal, the light-front Hamiltonian formulation of QCD (LFQCD) is a complementary approach…
Analytic properties of hadronic amplitudes are discussed within the framework of QCD as formulated on the basis of the BRST algebra. Local, composite fields are introduced for hadrons. Given confinement, it is shown that hadronic amplitudes…
A quantum version of data centers might be significant in the quantum era. In this paper, we introduce Quantum Data Center (QDC), a quantum version of existing classical data centers, with a specific emphasis on combining Quantum Random…
A brief overview is given of what we know of the baryon and meson spectra, with a focus on what are the key internal degrees of freedom and how these relate to strong coupling QCD. The challenges, experimental, theoretical and…
The current status of global QCD analysis of parton distribution functions of the nucleon is reviewed. Recent progress made in determining various features of the parton structure of the nucleon, as well as outstanding open questions are…
The N*-program provides a path to understanding the essentially-nonperturbative fundamentals at the heart of the Standard Model: confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. Relating this data to QCD's basic degrees-of-freedom is a…
Recent progress in understanding the strong physics regime of QCD is described. The role played by condensates, particularly $q{\bar q}$, in breaking chiral symmetry and generating constituent masses for $u$ and $d$ quarks is reviewed. The…
This contribution presents a brief summary of the recent past efforts to experimentally explore the QCD phase diagram at high baryon chemical potentials through heavy-ion collisions. A few measurements are highlighted to present the current…
Holographic QCD is an extra-dimensional approach to modeling hadrons, the bound states of the strong interactions. In holographic models, the extra spatial dimension creates a waveguide for fields, and the discrete towers of modes…
The variational method and the Hamiltonian formalism of QCD are used to derive relativistic, momentum space integral equations for a quark-antiquark system with an arbitrary number of gluons present. As a first step, the resulting infinite…
In the present paper, we outline and expound the fundamental and novel qualitative-cum-philosophical premises, principles, ideas, concepts, constructions and results that originate from our ongoing research project of applying the…
In the quest to understand QCD there are a number of outstanding challenges. Here we focus on one of these, namely what one expects to happen to the structure of a hadron when it is immersed in a nuclear medium. We argue that the necessary…
The dressing of bare massless quarks is described with a spatial theory based on the self-consistent solution of the QCD field equations. After quantization these equations are expressed in terms of quark and gluon creation and annihilation…
Lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) will soon become the primary theoretical tool in rigorous studies of single- and multi-hadron sectors of QCD. It is truly ab initio meaning that its only parameters are those of standard model. The…
