We present a new exact algorithm for estimating all elements of the quark propagator. The advantage of the method is that the exact all-to-all propagator is reproduced in a large but finite number of inversions. The efficacy of the…
We discuss all-to-all quark propagator techniques in two (related) contexts within Lattice QCD: the computation of closed quark propagators, and applications to the so-called "eye diagrams" appearing in the computation of non-leptonic kaon…
