Mix-cumulants of conserved charge distributions are sensitive observables for probing properties of the QCD medium and phase transition in heavy-ion collisions. To perform precise measurements, efficiency correction is one of the most…

Neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering measurements by the COHERENT collaboration provide us with a unique capability to test various beyond the standard model scenarios. In this work, we constrain scalar leptoquarks (LQs) using the COHERENT…

Determination of the top-quark Yukawa couplings in the process e+ e- -> t \bar{t} Z has been studied for the high luminosity option (\int L=500\fbinver) of a linear e+e- collider. Polarization of the electron beam has been considered. The…

Fueled by recent accomplishments in quantum computing hardware and software, an increasing number of problems from various application domains are being explored as potential use cases for this new technology. Similarly to classical…

Heavy quarks have been instrumental for progress in our exploration of strong interactions. Quarkonium in particular, a heavy quark-antiquark nonrelativistic bound state, has been at the root of several revolutions. Quarkonium is endowed…

We present QDK/Chemistry, a software toolkit for quantum chemistry workflows targeting quantum computers. The toolkit addresses a key challenge in the field: while quantum algorithms for chemistry have matured considerably, the…

Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) is a new approach to QCD problems involving a heavy quark. In the leading approximation, the heavy quark is considered as a static source of the gluon field; 1/m corrections can be systematically included…

We present the Quantum Computer Aided Design (QCAD) simulator that targets modeling multi-dimensional quantum devices, particularly silicon multi-quantum dots (QDs) developed for quantum bits (qubits). This finite-element simulator has…

We revisit a scenario with an enhanced top yukawa coupling in vector-like quark (VLQ) models, where the top yukawa coupling is larger than the standard model value and the lightest VLQ has a negative yukawa coupling. We find that the…

Quantum error correction (QEC) is essential for operating quantum computers in the presence of noise. Here, we accurately decode arbitrary Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes via the maximum satisfiability (MaxSAT) problem. We show how to…

The role of the top quark in completing the Standard Model quark sector is reviewed, along with a discussion of production, decay, and theoretical restrictions on the top quark properties. Particular attention is paid to the top quark as a…

The parametric error on the QCD-coupling can be a dominant source of uncertainty in several important observables. One way to extract the coupling is to compare high order perturbative computations with lattice evaluated moments of heavy…

Quantitative automata (QAs) extend finite-state automata on infinite words with weighted transitions to specify quantitative system properties. However, their finite weight sets rule out properties like average response time, where response…

We present some new mathematical tools which help to derive information about the quark mass matrices directly from experimental data and to elucidate the structure of these mass matrices.

After the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, the next important goal is to measure its properties. Probing the Yukawa coupling of the Higgs boson to top quarks is a particularly important test of physics beyond the standard model. This…

System behaviors are traditionally evaluated through binary classifications of correctness, which do not suffice for properties involving quantitative aspects of systems and executions. Quantitative automata offer a more nuanced approach,…

The top-quark Yukawa coupling is extracted from the distribution of the top-quark pair ($t \overline{t}$) invariant mass in proton-proton collisions using 140 ${fb}^{-1}$ of data at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV collected in 2015-2018 by the ATLAS…

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,…

A rigorous QCD analysis of the inclusive annihilation decay rates of heavy quarkonium states is presented. The effective-field-theory framework of nonrelativistic QCD is used to separate the short-distance scale of annihilation, which is…

The Yukawa coupling of the Higgs boson to top quarks $\text{Y}_\text{t}$ is of particular interest as the top quark plays a special role in the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. Any deviation from its predicted value could hint at…
