We reinterpret the JIMWLK/KLWMIJ evolution equation as the QCD Reggeon field theory (RFT). The basic "quantum Reggeon field" in this theory is the unitary matrix $R$ which represents the single gluon scattering matrix. We discuss the…
The normalization of the gluon condensate and of renormalon-related power corrections in QCD is computed under the assumption that their ``perturbative'' part dominates over any eventual extra contribution from the non-trivial vacuum. The…
We propose a strategy to generate a many-body entangled state in a collection of randomly placed, dipolarly coupled electronic spins in the solid state. By using coherent control to restrict the evolution into a suitable collective…
We investigate light hybrid mesons composed of a light quark-antiquark pair and two gluons within the framework of QCD sum rules. We focus on states with quantum numbers $J^{\mathrm{PC}} = 0^{++}, 0^{+-}, 0^{-+}, 0^{--}$ and…

We use on-shell recursion relations to determine the one-loop QCD scattering amplitudes with a massless external quark pair and an arbitrary number (n-2) of positive-helicity gluons. These amplitudes are the last of the unknown infrared-…
We discuss the ``spectroscopy'' of gluonic states in systems with two space dimensions, using simple models to mimic the results of lattice gauge theory computations. We first discuss the quantum numbers of these systems, including charge…
We initiate the study of Regge theory in a bottom-up holographic model for QCD in the Veneziano limit, where the backreaction of the quarks to the gluon dynamics is included. We determine the parameters of the model by carrying out a…
At high center-of-mass energies scattering amplitudes enjoy a hidden integrability. An important example in QCD is Odderon exchange, a composite state of three reggeized gluons, with can be understood as a closed spin chain with periodic…
We consider the free energy $W[J] = W_k(H)$ of QCD coupled to an external source $J_\mu^b(x) = H_\mu^b \cos(k \cdot x)$, where $H_\mu^b$ is, by analogy with spin models, an external "magnetic" field with a color index that is modulated by a…
Gluon and graviton radiation in strong field shockwave scattering are described by effective Lipatov vertices, with the graviton Lipatov vertex proportional to the bilinear of its QCD counterpart. We show here that the n-particle gluon…
QCD possesses a compact gauge group, and this implies a non-trivial topological structure of the vacuum. In this contribution to the Gribov-85 Memorial volume, we first discuss the origin of Gribov copies and their interpretation in terms…
It is argued that there are two phases in QCD distinguished by different choices of the gauge parameter. In one phase the color confinement is realized and gluons turn out to be massive, whereas in the other phase it ceases to be realized,…
We calculate the spectrum of gluons sourced by the branching of an energetic quark in the presence of an inhomogeneous QCD medium, focusing on the soft radiation limit. We take into account multiple soft interactions between the partons and…
We study the asymptotic dynamics of a driven quantum two level system coupled via a quantum detector to the environment. We find multi-photon resonances which are due to the entanglement of the qubit and the detector. Different regimes are…

The vacuum of QCD is characterized by the Higgs mechanism. Color is ``spontaneously broken'' by a quark-antiquark condensate in the octet representation. The massive gluons carry integer electric charges and are identified with the vector…

The efficient computation of color-summed QCD amplitudes at high parton multiplicities remains a central challenge for precision collider predictions. Existing approaches using trace, color-flow, or adjoint bases suffer from…
