The substantial progress that has been achieved in lattice QCD in the last years is pointed out. I compare the simulation cost and systematic effects of several lattice QCD formulations and discuss a number of topics such as lattice spacing…
As an example of an application of lattice QCD we describe a computation of four-quark operators in the nucleon. The results are interpreted in a diquark language.
We propose the light-front Lagrangian and the corresponding Hamiltonian that produce a theory perturbatively equivalent to the conventional QCD in the Lorentz coordinates after the regularization is removed. The regularization used is…
We construct a systematic mean-field-improved coupling constant and quark loop expansion for corrections to the valence (quenched) approximation to vacuum expectation values in the lattice formulation of QCD. Terms in the expansion are…
We construct an improved version of nonrelativistic QCD for use in lattice simulations of heavy quark physics, with the goal of reducing systematic errors from all sources to below 10\%. We develop power counting rules to assess the…
We discuss an algorithm for the approximate solution of Schrodinger's equation for lattice gauge theory, using lattice SU(3) as an example. A basis is generated by repeatedly applying an effective Hamiltonian to a ``starting state.'' The…
In lattice Hamiltonian systems with a quartic coupling $\gamma$, a critical value $\gamma^*$ may exist such that, when $\gamma=\gamma^*$, the leading irrelevant operator decouples from the Hamiltonian and the leading nonscaling contribution…
In this contribution we give an introduction to the foundations and methods of lattice gauge theory. Starting with a brief discussion of the quantum mechanical path integral, we develop the main ingredients of lattice field theory:…
Harmonic oscillator in noncommutative two dimensional lattice are investigated. Using the properties of non-differential calculus and its applications to quantum mechanics, we provide the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the corresponding…
We identify a new element in quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories, arising from spacetime-dependent quantum corrections in the relation between the link variables defined on the lattice and their continuum counterparts. While in…
We introduce a new Symanzik improved action by adding a 2x2 plaquette in such a way that the Feynman rules in the covariant gauge simplify. We call this the square Symanzik action. Some comparisons with the continuum and the standard Wilson…
I discuss the lattice calculations relevant to recent advances in CKM phenomenology, focusing on those relevant to new experimental results reported at this workshop.
The chiral properties of lattice fermions can be improved by altering either their fermion-gauge coupling or the pure gauge part of the action (or both). Using both perturbation theory and nonperturbative simulation, we compare a simple…
We review a relativistic approach to the heavy quark physics in lattice QCD by applying a relativistic $O(a)$ improvement to the massive Wilson quark action on the lattice. After explaining how power corrections of $m_Q a$ can be avoided…
In master-field simulations of lattice QCD, the expectation values of interest are obtained from a single or at most a few representative gauge-field configurations on very large lattices. If the light quarks are included, the generation of…
We describe an improved version of the quantum simulation method based on the implementation of a truncated Taylor series of the evolution operator. The idea is to add an extra step to the previously known algorithm which implements an…
We formulate the lattice QCD simulation with background classical gravitational fields. This formulation enables us to study nonperturbative aspects of quantum phenomena in curved spacetimes from the first principles. As the first…
We study the scalar modes of linear perturbations in loop quantum cosmology. This is done on a lattice where each cell is taken to be homogeneous and isotropic and can be quantized via standard homogeneous loop quantum cosmology techniques.…
The long standing problem of a non-perturbative renormalization of a gauge field theoretical Hamiltonian is addressed and explicitly carried out within an (effective) light-cone Hamiltonian approach to QCD. The procedure is in line with the…
I review some of the things we have learned about large N gauge theories (and QCD at N=oo) from lattice calculations in recent years. I point to some open problems.
