On the basis of the closed-time path formalism of non-equilibrium quantum field theory, we derive the real-time quantum dynamics of heavy quark systems. Even though our primary goal is the description of heavy quarkonia, our method allows a…
Open questions on the fundamental nature of the strong force endure and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a once-in-a-generation laboratory elucidating its quantum origins. This document summarizes the plenary overview talk titled "QCD…

We study the influence of a background magnetic field on the $J/\psi$ vector meson in a DBI-extension of the soft wall model, building upon our earlier work Phys. Rev. D91, 086002 (2015). In this specific holographic QCD model, we discuss…
The construction of heavy quark effective field theory (HqEFT) is extended to arbitrary order in both expansion parameters $\alpha_s$ and $1/m_q$. Matching conditions are discussed for the general case, and it is verified that this approach…
Upon introducing an heavy quark in the perturbative regime of the QCD conformal window we precisely determine the associated heavy meson spectrum and wave functions in terms of the number of light flavours and mass. We then compute the…
