In this thesis we deal with different aspects of quantum field theory, particularly in non-perturbative but also perturbative regimes, applied to the intellectual construction that is the Standard Model for Particle Physics (SM), but also…
These lectures about lattice field theory were written for, and given at, TASI 2019, ``The many dimensions of quantum field theory.'' The students at this TASI were mostly interested in formal things, and so these are slightly unusual…
Lattice field theory methods, usually associated with non-perturbative studies of quantum chromodynamics, are becoming increasingly common in the calculation of ground-state and thermal properties of strongly interacting non-relativistic…
We present a study of a combination of HQET and relativistic QCD to extract the b-quark mass and the Bs-meson decay constant from lattice quenched simulations. We start from a small volume, where one can directly simulate the b-quark, and…
Lattice field theory is a non-perturbative tool for studying properties of strongly interacting field theories, which is particularly amenable to numerical calculations and has quantifiable systematic errors. In these lectures we apply…
Lattice QCD with an even number of degenerate quark flavours is shown to be a limit of a local bosonic field theory. The action of the bosonic theory is real and bounded from below so that standard simulation algorithms can be expected to…
We propose a new framework for simulating $\text{U}(k)$ Yang-Mills theory on a universal quantum computer. This construction uses the orbifold lattice formulation proposed by Kaplan, Katz, and Unsal, who originally applied it to…
This letter reports on a new procedure for the lattice spacing setting that takes advantage of the very precise determination of the strong coupling in Taylor scheme. Although it can be applied for the physical scale setting with the…
We present preliminary results for heavy to light transitions of pseudoscalar mesons, induced by the vector and tensor operators. This lattice study is performed in quenched approximation, by using the nonperturbatively improved Wilson…

We present results of a lattice analysis of the $B$ parameter, $B_B$, the decay constant $f_B$, and several mass splittings using the static approximation. Results were obtained for 60 quenched gauge configurations computed at $\beta=6.2$…
$B$-physics is one of the most promising windows to find new physics in the flavor sector. One key ingredient to these searches are precise theoretical predictions derived from the Standard Model. Focusing at the nonperturbative QCD…
Quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories offer the potential to directly study the non-perturbative dynamics of quantum chromodynamics, but naive analyses suggest that they require large computational resources. Large $N_c$ expansions…
We present a lattice NRQCD study of the B meson decay constant in the quenched approximation with emphasis given to the scaling behavior. The NRQCD action and the heavy-light axial current we use include all terms of order 1/M and the…
A general class of loop quantizations for anisotropic models is introduced and discussed, which enhances loop quantum cosmology by relevant features seen in inhomogeneous situations. The main new effect is an underlying lattice which is…
We present a precise determination of the leptonic decay constant F_D(s) of the D(s)-meson in quenched lattice QCD. This work is particularly focused on the analysis and discussion of all sources of systematic errors. We simulate directly…
We present a pedagogical introduction to a quantum computing algorithm for the simulation of classical fluids, based on the Carleman linearization of a second-quantized version of lattice kinetic theory. Prospects and limitations for the…
After a brief introduction to the statistical description of data, these lecture notes focus on quantum field theories as they emerge from lattice models in the critical limit. For the simulation of these lattice models, Markov chain…

We present the lattice gauge theory approach to evaluating non-perturbative hadronic interactions from first principles. We discuss applications to glueballs, inter-quark potentials, the running coupling constant, the light hadron spectrum…
