The QCD coupling appears in the perturbative expansion of the current-current two-point (vacuum polarization) function. Any lattice calculation of vacuum polarization is plagued by several competing non-perturbative effects at small momenta…
Non-perturbatively computing the hadronic vacuum polarization at large photon virtualities and making contact with perturbation theory enables a precision determination of the electromagnetic coupling at the $Z$ pole, which enters global…
The experimental uncertainty on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has been significantly reduced with the recent results of the Fermilab $g-2$ experiment, and a further reduction is expected in the near future. The precision of the…
We review recent results in lattice QCD from numerical simulations that allow for a much more realistic QCD vacuum than has been possible before. Comparison with experiment for a variety of hadronic quantities gives agreement to within…
I review the status of lattice QCD calculations of the hadronic contributions to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, focussing on the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution which dominates the uncertainty of the Standard Model…
We discuss the calculation of the leading hadronic vacuum polarization in lattice QCD. Exploiting the excellent quality of the compiled experimental data for the e^+e^- --> hadrons cross-section, we predict the outcome of large-volume…
Hadronic vacuum polarization is a key observable in low-energy QCD, and is famously the greatest contributor to the theoretical uncertainty in the muon magnetic moment. Its long-distance part in particular is a weak point of the current…
We propose a method to compute the hadronic vacuum polarization function on the lattice at continuous values of photon momenta bridging between the spacelike and timelike regions. We provide two independent demonstrations to show that this…
The persistent discrepancy of about 3.5 standard deviations between the experimental measurement and the Standard Model prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_\mu$, is one of the most promising hints for the possible…
We outline a simple way to include heavy quark vacuum polarization in lattice QCD simulations. The method, based on effective field theory, requires only a trivial modification of the gluon action and has no impact on simulation times. We…
The search for new physics requires a joint experimental and theoretical effort. Lattice QCD is already an essential tool for obtaining precise model-free theoretical predictions of the hadronic processes underlying many key experimental…
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…
The dispersive approach to quantum chromodynamics is applied to the study of the hadronic vacuum polarization function and associated quantities. This approach merges the intrinsically nonperturbative constraints, which originate in the…
Chiral dynamics makes definitive predictions for the electromagnetic polarizabilities of hadrons near the chiral limit; but, agreement with experiment is tenuous in some cases. We provide an overview of lattice QCD methods to compute the…
I report on recent progress and future prospects for lattice QCD calculations relevant for flavour physics and CP violation. I will focus on lattice studies that incorporate realistic vacuum polarization effects, i.e., with n_f=2+1 sea…
We present and test a new method to compute the hadronic vacuum polarization function in lattice simulations. This can then be used, e.g., to determine the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The…
The precision with which hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) is obtained determines how accurately important observables, such as the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a_\mu, or the low-energy running of the electromagnetic coupling, \alpha,…
A disorder parameter is constructed which signals the condensation of vortices. The construction is tested by numerical simulations. Advances in the understanding of the basic properties of QCD vacuum will be reported. Three main subjects…
Investigations on the structure of QCD vacuum from first principles can be done on the lattice. The mechanism of confinement is an example: results from lattice on it are reviewed.
We review some of the issues that arise in attempts to compute the hadronic corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment using Lattice QCD. We concentrate on the dominant contribution, which requires an accurate evaluation of the…
