In lattice QCD, obtaining properties of heavy-light mesons has been easier said than done. Focusing on the $B$ meson's decay constant, it is argued that towards the end of 1997 the last obstacles were removed, at least in the quenched…
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…
Recent progress in Lattice QCD is highlighted. After a brief introduction to the methodology of lattice computations the presentation focuses on three main topics: Hadron Spectroscopy, Hadron Structure and Lattice Flavor Physics. In each…
We argue that high-precision lattice QCD is now possible, for the first time, because of a new improved staggered quark discretization. We compare a wide variety of nonperturbative calculations in QCD with experiment, and find agreement to…
I review recent developments in lattice QCD. I first give an overview of its formalism, and then discuss lattice discretizations of fermions. We then turn to a description of the quenched approximation and why it is disappearing as a…
I summarize recent progress in lattice gauge theory, with particular emphasis on results from numerical simulations. A major success has been the determination of the light hadron spectrum in the quenched approximation with sufficient…
The status of Lattice QCD is reviewed with respect to results that are relevant to Standard Model phenomenology. I argue that in a few simple cases all (or almost all) systematic errors from the lattice calculation are under control.…
Precision computation of hadronic physics with lattice QCD is becoming feasible. The last decade has seen percent-level calculations of many simple properties of mesons, and the last few years have seen calculations of baryon masses,…
Recent progress in lattice QCD calculations of nucleon structure will be presented. Calculations of nucleon matrix elements and form factors have long been difficult to reconcile with experiment, but with advances in both methodology and…
This review concentrates on progress in lattice QCD during the last two years and, particularly, its impact on phenomenology. The two main technical developments have been successful implementations of lattice actions with exact chiral…
Accurate measurements of K, D and B meson mixing amplitudes provide stringent constraints in the Unitary Triangle analysis, as well as useful bounds on New Physics scales. Lattice QCD provides a non perturbative tool to compute the hadronic…
After a brief discussion of the promise and limitations of the lattice technique, I review lattice QCD results for several quantities of phenomenological interest. These are: matrix elements for heavy-to-light meson decays, leptonic decay…
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…
Recent Lattice QCD results relevant for Kaon, Charm and B Physics are summarized. There is general agreement among calculations using a wide range of different lattice actions. This bolsters confidence in the lattice results and in their…
In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Kl\nu$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$…
I give a brief introduction to the scope of lattice QCD calculations in our effort to extract the fundamental parameters of the standard model. This goal is illustrated by two examples. First I discuss the extraction of CKM matrix elements…
The development of improved algorithms for QCD on the lattice has enabled us to do calculations at small quark masses and get control over the chiral extrapolation. Also finer lattices have become possible, however, a severe slowing down…
I review the results of hadron spectroscopy calculations from lattice QCD for an intended audience of low energy hadronic physicists. I briefly introduce the ideas of numerical lattice QCD. The various systematic errors, such as the lattice…
The lattice gauge theory technique for non-perturbative calculations in QCD is reviewed. The extraction of the continuum limit of lattice results is discussed with particular examples appropriate to hadron spectroscopy (the light hadrons…
This year lattice QCD has become very public. A new generation of simulations (including light dynamical quarks) have produced results which are in close agreement with many ``easy'' experimental quantities, and precise predictions for…
