We derive the asymptotic lattice spacing dependence $a^n[2b_0\bar{g}^2(1/a)]^{\hat{\Gamma}_i}$ relevant for spectral quantities of lattice QCD, when using Wilson, O$(a)$ improved Wilson or Ginsparg-Wilson quarks. We give some examples for…

For lattice QCD with two sea quark flavours we compute the static quark antiquark potential V(R) in the regime where string breaking is expected. In order to increase statistics, we make full use of the lattice information by including all…
This lecture provides an introduction to quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on the lattice. The continuum limit and Monte Carlo simulations are briefly discussed. Different facets of QCD are nicely exhibited by the potential of a static quark and…
Point-to-point correlation functions of hadron currents in the QCD vacuum are calculated on a lattice and analyzed using dispersion relations, providing physical information down to small spatial separations. Qualitative agreement with…
We propose a scheme for quantum computation in optical lattices. The qubits are encoded in the spacial wavefunction of the atoms such that spin decoherence does not influence the computation. Quantum operations are steered by shaking the…

Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…
We determine the chiral condensate from simulations of quenched lattice QCD with Wilson fermions. Our measurements have been obtained with high statistics at three values of the gauge coupling, corresponding to UV cutoffs in the range 2 - 4…
We study the hadronic spectrum in quenched lattice QCD using an improved Wilson fermion action (Hamber-Wu(1983),Eguchi-Kawamoto(1984)) at $\beta= 5.7$ and $\beta =6.0$. We find a systematic reduction of the finite spacing effects compared…
The numerical technique of Lattice QCD holds the promise of connecting the nuclear forces, nuclei, the spectrum and structure of hadrons, and the properties of matter under extreme conditions with the underlying theory of the strong…
We present a novel method to determine on the lattice both the real and imaginary parts of complex electroweak amplitudes involving two external currents and a single hadron or the QCD vacuum in the external states. The method is based on…
We formulate QCD discretized on the four dimensional 16-cell honeycomb. The advantage is a higher degree of rotational symmetry as compared to a traditional cubic lattice leading to much smaller cut-off effects. We demonstrate in quenched…
By trapping cold polarizable atoms in periodic potentials created by crossed laser beams, it is now possible to experimentally create "clean" lattice systems. Experimentalists have successfully engineered local and nearest-neighbor…
