For the exploration of the phase diagram of QCD, effective Polyakov loop theories derived from lattice QCD provide a valuable tool in the heavy quark mass regime. Using mean field approximations these theories are evaluated in the high and…

I give an overview of phenomenological heavy quark results obtained in NRQCD on the lattice. In particular I discuss the bottomonium and the b-light hadron spectrum. I also review recent results on the decay constants f_B and f_B_s.

I review recent results and prospects for improvement in calculations of hadronic matrix elements relevant to quark flavour phenomenology. I will focus on key quantities for CKM unitarity triangle analyses and for the study of discrepancies…

I present a selection of recent lattice results in flavourdynamics, including the status of the calculation of quark masses and a variety of weak matrix elements relevant for the determination of CKM matrix elements. Recent improvements in…

We discuss the status of our ongoing efforts to improve on our calculation of the $D_s$ decay constant. We show preliminary results on the ratio of the charm to the strange quark mass. We also present preliminary results for spectroscopy,…

The status of lattice QCD investigations at high temperature is reviewed. After a short introduction into thermal QCD on the lattice we report on the present understanding of the phase diagram and the equation of state, in particular in…

Charmonium is an attractive system for the application of lattice QCD methods. While the sub-threshold spectrum has been considered in some detail in previous works, it is only very recently that excited and higher-spin states and further…

Hadron masses are calculated in quenched lattice QCD with a fermion action of the D234 type on an anisotropic lattice. Hyperfine splittings for singly charmed baryons are found to be in agreement with expectations from the quark model and…

We perform a lattice study of heavy baryons, containing one ($\Lambda_b$) or two $b$-quarks ($\Xi_b$). Using the quenched approximation we obtain for the mass of $\Lambda_b$ $$ M_{\Lambda_b}= 5.728 \pm 0.144 \pm 0.018 {\rm GeV}.$$ The mass…

We present results of lattice QCD simulations with mass-degenerate up and down and mass-split strange and charm (N_f = 2+1+1) dynamical quarks using Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist. The tuning of the strange and charm quark…

A method for computing electromagnetic properties of hadrons in lattice QCD is described and preliminary numerical results are presented. The electromagnetic field is introduced dynamically, using a noncompact formulation. Employing…

Lattice NRQCD has proven successful in describing the physics of the upsilon system and B-mesons, though some concerns arise when it is used in simulations of charm quarks. It is certainly possible that the NRQCD expansion is not converging…

The current status of determinations of the QCD running quark masses is reviewed. Emphasis is on recent progress on analytical precision determinations based on finite energy QCD sum rules. A critical discussion of the merits of this…

Second-generation theoretical technologies -- heavy quark expansions, QCD sum rules and QCD simulations on the lattice -- are arriving on the scene, allowing a treatment of charm decays that is genuinely based on QCD. The availability of…

The bound states of a heavy quark and antiquark ($c\bar{c}, b\bar{b}$) are ideal probes to explore the quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the RHIC and LHC. Not only have they become experimentally accessible…

I review recent progress on algorithms for calculating quark propagators and for simulating full QCD.

Understanding flavor physics is one of the most important tasks of particle physics today, which is motivating an extraordinary experimental and theoretical investigational effort. Important progress in this field has already been achieved…

The charmonium-nucleon interaction is studied by the time-dependent HAL QCD method. We use a larger lattice volume and the relativistic heavy quark action for charm quark to obtain less systematic errors than those in our previous study. As…

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…

The lattice technique of studying the strong interaction of matter is used to obtain predictions of the hadronic spectrum. These simulations were performed by the UKQCD collaboration using full (unquenched) QCD. Details of the results, a…
