Master-field simulations offer an approach to lattice QCD in which calculations are performed on a small number of large-volume gauge-field configurations. The latter is advantageous for simulations in which the global topological charge is…

There has been a surge of experimental effort recently in cooling trapped fermionic atoms to quantum degeneracy. By varying an external magnetic field, interactions between atoms can be made arbitrarily strong. When the S wave scattering…

We discuss N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the lattice using the fermion loop formulation. In this approach the system naturally decomposes into a bosonic and fermionic sector. This allows us to deal with the sign problem arising in…

In model independent way we consider the possibility of the existence of fermion-antifermion, fermion-fermion bound states which appear due to $\gamma, Z^0(W^{\pm}$-bosons and scalar, pseudoscalars exchanges including radiative corrections.…

The transition temperature ($T_c$) of QCD is determined by Symanzik improved gauge and stout-link improved staggered fermionic lattice simulations. We use physical masses both for the light quarks ($m_{ud}$) and for the strange quark…

The infamous sign problem leads to an exponential complexity in Monte Carlo simulations of generic many-body quantum systems. Nevertheless, many phases of matter are known to admit a sign-problem-free representative, allowing efficient…
