In high temperature QCD, the perturbation theory is plagued with infrared divergences which reflect long-range non-perturbative phenomena. I argue that it is possible to study such phenomena within a classical thermal field theory which can…

A remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the hot and dense QCD matter using lattice gauge theory. The issues which are very well understood as well those which require both conceptual as well as algorithmic advances are…

We analyze the structure of higher-order radiative corrections for processes with unstable particles. By subsequently integrating out the various scales that are induced by the presence of unstable particles we obtain a hierarchy of…

Infrared safe differential cross sections, such as event shape distributions, can be measured over wide kinematic ranges, from regions where fixed order calculations are adequate to regions where nonperturbative dynamics dominate. Such…

The successive perturbative estimates of the pressure of QCD at high temperature T show no sign of convergence, unless the coupling constant g is unrealistically small. Exploiting known results of an effective field theory which separates…

Perturbation theory (PT) might be one of the most powerful and fruitful tools for both physicists and chemists, which evoked an explosion of applications with the blooming of atomic and subatomic physics. Even though PT is well-used today,…

In the past decade, the toolkit of quantum information has been expanded to include processes in which the basic operations do not have definite causal relations. Originally considered in the context of the unification of quantum mechanics…
