Bound states of heavy $\bar{q}q$ quarks are reviewed within the context of QCD, paying attention to what can be derived from the theory with a reasonable degree of rigour. This is compared with the results of semiclassical arguments. Among…

We calculate the potential between two static quarks in QCD using modified boundary conditions for the perturbative expansion. Through a change of the Feynman iepsilon prescription we effectively add a "sea" of gluons to the asymptotic…

We evaluate the planar two-loop QCD diagrams contributing to the leading color coefficient of the heavy-quark pair production cross section, in the quark-antiquark annihilation channel. We obtain the leading color coefficient in an analytic…
In this Chapter QCD interactions between a quark and an anti-quark are discussed. In the heavy quark limit these potentials can be related to quarkonia and $1/m$ corrections can be systematically determined. Excitations of the ground state…
We calculate the leading and next-to-leading corrections to the real-time QCD static potential in a high temperature medium in the region where bound states transit from narrow resonances to wide ones. We find sizable contributions to both…
We compute the three-loop corrections to the potential of two heavy quarks. In particular we consider in this Letter the purely gluonic contribution which provides in combination with the fermion corrections of Ref. \cite{Smirnov:2008pn}…
Following the procedure and motivations developed by Richardson, Buchmuller and Tye, we derive the potential of static quarks consistent with both the three-loop running of QCD coupling constant under the two-loop perturbative matching of V…
We study an extended QCD model in 2D obtained from QCD in 4D by compactifying two spatial dimensions and projecting onto the zero-mode subspace. This system is found to induce a dynamical mass for transverse gluons -- adjoint scalars in…
The heavy quark-antiquark potential in perturbative QCD is subject to ambiguities. We show how to derive a well-defined and stable short-distance potential that can be matched to results from lattice QCD simulations at intermediate…
The spectra of some 0++ four-quark states, which are composed of \bar qq pairs, are calculated in QCD. The light four-quark states are calculated using the traditional sum rules while four-quark states containing one heavy quark are…
Non-relativistic bound state theories for QED and QCD have become fairly mature and amenable to a textbook-level understanding and computation. In this talk we give an introductory review of the following subjects related to the recent…
In the current paper, we propose two types of quark-antiquark interactions, which may be tailored to describe various meson sectors. The interactions contain Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) inspired components, such as the Coulomb-like…

We report results on the static quark potential in two-flavor full QCD. The calculation is performed for three values of lattice spacing $a^{-1}\approx 0.9, 1.3$ and 2.5 GeV on $12^3{\times}24, 16^3{\times}32$ and $24^3{\times}48$ lattices…
