We use the holographic V-QCD models to analyse the physics of dense QCD and neutron stars. Accommodating lattice results for thermodynamics of QCD enables us to make generic predictions for the Equation of State (EoS) of the quark matter…

We study the endpoint of the first order deconfinement phase transition of 2 and 2+1 flavor QCD in the heavy quark region. We perform simulations of quenched QCD and apply the reweighting method to study the heavy quark region. The quark…

We present the results of a series of one-dimensional N-body and hydrodynamical simulations which have been used for testing the different clustering properties of baryonic and dark matter in an expanding background. Initial Gaussian random…

We investigate the effective potential of the Polyakov loop, which is the order parameter for the deconfinement phase transition in finite temperature QCD. Our work is based on the Hamiltonian approach in Coulomb gauge where finite…

We describe a numerical algorithm for approximating the equilibrium-reduced density matrix and the effective (mean force) Hamiltonian for a set of system spins coupled strongly to a set of bath spins when the total system (system+bath) is…

We compare SU(2) Polyakov loop models with different effective actions with data from full two-color QCD simulations around and above the critical temperature. We then apply the effective theories at finite temperature and density to…

We argue that by measuring higher moments of the net proton number fluctuations in heavy ion collisions (HIC) one can probe the QCD chiral cross over transition experimentally. We discuss the properties of fluctuations of the net baryon…

Principal component analysis is an important dimension reduction technique in machine learning. In [S. Lloyd, M. Mohseni and P. Rebentrost, Nature Physics 10, 631-633, (2014)], a quantum algorithm to implement principal component analysis…

We propose a new algorithm for sampling the $N$-body density $|\Psi({\bf R})|^2/\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3N}} |\Psi|^2$ in the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) framework. This algorithm is based upon a modified Ricci-Ciccotti discretization of the…

QCD with heavy dynamical quarks exhibits a first order thermal transition which is driven by the spontaneous breaking of the global $\mathcal{Z}_3$ center symmetry. Decreasing the quark masses weakens the transition until the corresponding…

This work introduces a canonical structure for a broad class of unconstrained first-order algorithms that admit a Lur'e representation, including systems with relative degree greater than one, e.g., systems with delayed gradient feedback.…

Composite dark matter candidates, which can arise from new strongly-coupled sectors, are well-motivated and phenomenologically interesting, particularly in the context of asymmetric generation of the relic density. In this work, we employ…

During the last years it has become possible to address the cold and dense regime of QCD directly for sufficiently heavy quarks, where combined strong coupling and hopping expansions are convergent and a 3d effective theory can be derived,…

A decoding algorithm for $q$-ary low-density parity-check codes over the $q$-ary symmetric channel is introduced. The exchanged messages are lists of symbols from $\Fq$. A density evolution analysis for maximum list sizes $1$ and $2$ is…

We describe a new algorithm to calculate the vibrational nuclear level density of an atomic nucleus. Fictitious perturbation operators that probe the response of the system are generated by drawing their matrix elements from some…

Many Bayesian inference problems involve target distributions whose density functions are computationally expensive to evaluate. Replacing the target density with a local approximation based on a small number of carefully chosen density…

We study the effects of the finite size of baryons on the equation of state of homogeneous hadronic matter. The finite extension of hadrons is introduced in order to improve the performance of field theoretical models at very high…

We consider a model in which dark matter is a composite baryon of a dark sector governed by $SU(3)$ gauge theory, with vector-like quarks also charged under $U(1)_Y$. The model provides simple answer to the dark matter stability problem: it…

We revisit the state of the light element abundances from big bang nucleosynthesis in early 2024 with particular focus on the derived baryon abundance. We find that the largest differences between the final baryon abundances are typically…

Mean-field molecular dynamics based on path integrals is used to approximate canonical quantum observables for particle systems consisting of nuclei and electrons. A computational bottleneck is the sampling from the Gibbs density of the…
