We describe two ideas useful in the construction of highly improved quark actions for simulations on coarse lattices: (1) Field transformations to solve the doubler problem without destroying tree-level improvement for on- or off-shell…

We present preliminary results of $B_K$ calculated using improved staggered fermions with the mixed action (valence quarks = HYP staggered fermions and sea quarks = AsqTad staggered fermions). We analyze the data based upon the prediction…

We present updated results of the CP-PACS calculation of the light hadron spectrum in $N_{\rm f}=2$ full QCD. Simulations are made with an RG-improved gauge action and a tadpole-improved clover quark action for sea quark masses…

A pedagogical introduction to the heavy quark theory is given. It is explained that various expansions in the inverse heavy quark mass $1/m_Q$ present a version of the Wilson operator product expansion in QCD. A systematic approach is…

We present a lattice calculation of the interquark potential between static quarks in a ``full'' QCD simulation with 2 flavours of dynamical Wilson-quarks at three intermediate sea-quark masses. We work at $\beta = 5.6$ on lattice size of…

The status of simulations using the non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson action in the quenched approximation is reviewed. The impact of non-perturbative improvement on the hadronic mass spectrum and the size of residual lattice…

We discuss analytic continuation as a tool to extract the cumulants of the quark number fluctuations in the strongly interacting medium from lattice QCD simulations at imaginary chemical potentials. The method is applied to $N_f = 2+1$ QCD,…

We present a high statistics study of the light hadron spectrum and quark masses in QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks. Numerical simulations are carried out using the plaquette gauge action and the O(a)-improved Wilson quark action…

We discuss the problem of lattice artefacts in QCD simulations enhanced by the introduction of dynamical charmed quarks. In particular, we advocate the use of a massive renormalization scheme with a close to realistic charm mass. To…

We give improved results for B meson masses using NRQCD $b$ quarks and HISQ light valence quarks for a range of lattice spacings and sea quark masses enabling controlled extrapolation to the physical point.

Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…

We present a comparison of a number of iterative solvers of linear systems of equations for obtaining the fermion propagator in lattice QCD. In particular, we consider chirally invariant overlap and chirally improved Wilson (maximally)…

Polynomial approximations to the inverse of the fermion matrix are used to filter the dynamics of the upper energy scales in HMC simulations. The use of a multiple time-scale integration scheme allows the filtered pseudofermions to be…

The light quark results from three different simulations are summarized. We get consistent results, within our statistics, between smeared and non smeared data. A comparison is performed with similar results from the UKQCD collaboration.…

We present an overview of the role of quantum coherence in influencing nonadiabatic processes in the condensed phase. Equations of motion for mixed quantum-classical dynamics are derived from the Consistent Histories interpretation of…

We present the latest lattice QCD results for baryon interactions obtained at nearly physical quark masses. $N_f = 2+1$ nonperturbatively ${\cal O}(a)$-improved Wilson quark action with stout smearing and Iwasaki gauge action are employed…

Lattice simulations of hadronic structure are now reaching a level where they are able to not only complement, but also provide guidance to current and forthcoming experimental programmes at, e.g. Jefferson Lab, COMPASS/CERN and FAIR/GSI.…

We present studies of universal properties of the chiral phase transition in $N_f$=2+1 QCD based on the simulations using Highly Improved Staggered fermions on lattices with temporal extent $N_\tau$=6. We analyze the quark mass and volume…

We present a first scaling test of twisted mass QCD with pure Wilson quarks for a twisting angle of pi/2. We have computed the vector meson mass and the pseudoscalar decay constant for different values of beta at fixed value of r_0 m_PS.…

In this introductory article a brief description of Quantum Field Theories (QFT) is presented with emphasis on the distinction between strongly and weakly coupled theories. A case is made for using numerical simulations to solve QCD, the…
