We have simulated QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) to probe part of the phase diagram for nuclear matter. Preliminary results suggest that for $\mu_I > \mu_c$, this theory forms a charged pion condensate which…
We study the asymptotic short-distance behaviour as well as the asymptotic large-distance behaviour of the gauge-invariant quark-antiquark nonlocal condensates in QCD. A comparison of some analytical results with the available lattice data…

Neither the chiral limit nor finite baryon density can be simulated directly in lattice QCD, which severely limits our understanding of the QCD phase diagram. In this review I collect results for the phase structure in an extended parameter…

We argue that high-precision lattice QCD is now possible, for the first time, because of a new improved staggered quark discretization. We compare a wide variety of nonperturbative calculations in QCD with experiment, and find agreement to…

We develop a method to compute inclusive semi-leptonic decay rate of hadrons fully non-perturbatively using lattice QCD simulations. The sum over all possible final states is achieved by a calculation of the forward-scattering matrix…
We describe two-flavor QCD lattice data for the pressure at finite temperature and zero chemical potential within a quasiparticle model. Relying only on thermodynamic selfconsistency, the model is extended to nonzero chemical potential. The…
QCD in two dimensions is investigated using the improved fermionic lattice Hamiltonian proposed by Luo, Chen, Xu, and Jiang. We show that the improved theory leads to a significant reduction of the finite lattice spacing errors. The quark…
