Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the fundamental theory describing quark interactions, and various quark models based on QCD have been widely used to study the properties of hadrons, including their structures and mass spectra. However,…

A sufficient condition for the confinement of quarks is presented. Quarks are shown to be unobservable. Colour singlets are however, observables. The results of deep inelastic scattering are discussed. We argue that QCD does not exhibit a…

I review the recent progress in lattice QCD, which will be useful in heavy quark physics in the near future. Reviewing the theoretical developments in lattice QCD first, I focus our recent unquenched QCD with dynamical overlap fermion as…

Several topics in hadron physics at different scales of resolution are discussed. First, deep-inelastic scattering from nucleons and nuclei is viewed in a light-cone coordinate space picture. Then the smooth transition from parton to hadron…

Lattice NRQCD has proven successful in describing the physics of the upsilon system and B-mesons, though some concerns arise when it is used in simulations of charm quarks. It is certainly possible that the NRQCD expansion is not converging…
