The determination of $|V_{cb}|$ using inclusive and exclusive (semi-)leptonic decays exhibits a long-standing tension of varying ${\cal O}(3 \sigma)$ significance. For the inclusive determination the decay rate is expanded in $1/m_b$ using…

An overview of lattice results for the strange quark mass, $B_K$, $B_6$, $B_7$, and $B_8$ is presented. I give my assessment of the reliability of various estimates and prospects for future improvements.

A recent lattice evaluation of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, finding a 2.1 $\sigma$ deviation from the experimental value, has revived the old debate about a possible $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ anomaly. The unfounded claims of a too low…

We review the application of lattice QCD to the phenomenology of b- and c-quarks. After a short discussion of the lattice techniques used to evaluate hadronic matrix elements and the corresponding systematic uncertainties, we summarise…

Estimates of the CP violating observable $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ have gained some attention in the past few years. Depending on the long-distance treatment used, they exhibit up to $2.9\sigma$ deviation from the experimentally measured…

After a short presentation of the FLAG collaboration, we review lattice results related to pion, $K$-, $D$- and $B$-meson physics with the aim of making them easily accessible to the particle-physics community. Only a selection of FLAG…

Leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays represent till now the golden modes for the extraction of the Cabibbo angle from experiments, provided the relevant hadronic quantities, namely the ratio of the kaon and pion leptonic decay constants,…

This paper is a review of recent lattice QCD results for $D$ and $D_s$ meson leptonic and semileptonic decays. The theory inputs needed for the determination of $V_{cd}$ and $V_{cs}$ from experimental results are the meson decay constants…

We present a non-perturbative computation of inclusive rates of semileptonic decays of heavy mesons from lattice QCD simulations. The calculation is based on the extraction of smeared spectral functions obtained from four-point Euclidean…

Results for light quark masses obtained from lattice QCD simulations are compared and contrasted with other determinations. Relevance of these results to estimates of $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is discussed.

We present a summary update of the QCD spectral sum rule (QSSR) results for the running and {\it perturbative pole} quark masses, the $f_D$ and $f_B$ leptonic decay constants, the heavy-to-light and heavy-to-heavy exclusive transition-form…

Using firmly established experimental inputs such as epsilon_K, Delta M_d, Delta M_s, BR(B -> tau nu), gamma, V_cb along with corresponding lattice matrix elements which have been well studied and are in full QCD such as B_K, SU3 breaking…

We calculate the mass difference between the $\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ and the $\Upsilon$ leptonic width from lattice QCD using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism for the $b$ quark and including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the…

In the framework of a specific scheme of the QCD sum rules for $S$-wave levels of the heavy quarkonium, one derives expressions, relating the leptonic constants, the energetic density of quarkonium states and universal characteristics in…

Recent achievements in the heavy quark theory are critically reviewed. The emphasis is put on those aspects which either did not attract enough attention or cause heated debates in the current literature. Among other topics we discuss (i)…

The possibility of revealing new physics by studying the flavor sector of the Standard Model strongly depends upon the accuracy that will be achieved in (near) future lattice QCD calculations and, in particular, on heavy-light meson's…

Rare $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays provide some of the most sensitive tests of the Standard Model and require precise and systematically improvable hadronic input from lattice QCD. For the phenomenologically important channel $B\to…

We review many lattice QCD calculations that impact the precise determination of the CKM matrix. We focus on decay constants and semileptonic form factors of both light ($\pi$ and K) and heavy-light ($D_{(s)}$ and $B_{(s)}$) mesons.…

The 2-years old observation at LHC of a new boson, with a mass of 126 GeV, is a great achievement. Its interpretation as a Brout-Englert-Higgs boson is very plausible and appealing to complete the zoology of fundamental particles in the…

We analyze the thermal behavior of heavy vector and axial-vector mesons ($J/\psi$, $\Upsilon$, and $B_c$) within the finite-temperature QCD sum-rule framework. Using updated PDG-2024 quark masses, modern lattice-informed gluon condensates,…
