    Recently the productions of exotic hadrons are interested not only for pp and ee collisions, but also for relativistic heavy ion collisions. The latter can be regarded as the factory for producing exotic hadrons from light to heavy flavors. Especially, the inner structures of exotic hadrons can be sensitive to the production process, and more information may be obtained by researching exotic...

    We study the nature of the hidden charm pentaquarks, i.e. the Pc(4312), Pc(4440) and Pc(4457), with a neural network approach in pionless effective field theory. In this framework, the normal fitting approach cannot distinguish the quantum numbers of the Pc(4440) and Pc(4457). In contrast to that, the neural network-based approach can discriminate them. In addition, we also illustrate the role...

    Lattice QCD is the only known non-perturbative and gauge-invariant regularisation at present. The first-principles calculations of the lattice QCD based on the Monte Carlo methods have revealed various properties of QCD at low energies. In this lecture, the basics of Lattice QCD will be presented. As a final goal, I will discuss how hadron spectra are measured numerically.

    I will discuss a lattice QCD calculation of the nucleon electric polarizabilities at the physical pion mass. Our findings reveal the substantial contributions of the Nπ states to these polarizabilities. Without considering these contributions, the lattice results fall significantly below the experimental values, consistent with previous lattice studies. This observation has motivated us to...

    The application of the chiral Lagrangian to results from Lattice QCD simulations played an important role in the early days of the field when it was impossible to generate ensembles at the physical pion mass.

    The baryon masses on CLS ensembles are used to determine the LEC that characterize QCD in the flavor-SU(3) limit with vanishing up, down, and strange quark masses.[1,2]
    Here we reevaluate some of the baryon masses on flavor-symmetric ensembles with much-improved statistical precision, in particular for the decuplet states. These additional results then lead to a more significant chiral...

    Since 2003, many hadrons that do not fit into the conventional quark model of qqbar mesons and qqq baryons have been discovered experimentally. Because most (if not all) of these states are located at the thresholds of a pair of conventional hadrons, they have been conjectured to be hadronic molecules. There have been extensive theoretical and experimental studies to verify or refute the...

    Some hadrons are hard to explain as normal hadrons made of quarks and antiquarks, or three quarks. These are called exotic hadrons. Since the Belle experiment reported $X(3872)$ in 2003, more exotic hadrons containing charm quarks have been found. Exotic hadrons are believed to have more complex structures than normal hadrons, but no conclusion has been reached yet.

    Exotic hadrons are important subjects in the hadron physics. These states which lie slightly below the threshold have been expected to be hadronic molecules of two ordinary hadrons.

    $T_{cc}$ was reported by the LHCb experiment in 2022 and this state is consistent with an isoscalar state whose $J$-parity is $1^+$. The Breit-Wigner mass relative to the $D^{\ast +}D^0$ threshold is...

    In this presentation, we explore the low-energy behavior of $DD^*$ scattering phase shifts using twisted boundary conditions. While Lüscher’s method is typically employed to calculate scattering phase shifts between two hadrons from energy spectra, it becomes impractical to achieve high-resolution results using only periodic boundary conditions due to volume limitations. Conversely, twisted...

    The properties of QCD matter in a strong magnetic field have attracted much attention because of their relevance to the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and magnetars. For example, the effects of magnetic fields are intensely studied in both single-body and many-body problems, such as modifications of the hadron mass spectrum and the QCD phase diagram.

    We firstly employ the novel lattice EFT method to multi-hadron systems. The $DD^*K$ three-body system is taken as an illustration to demonstrate the great power of lattice EFT to hadron physics, especially the potential application for many-body systems. The sub two-body interactions are fixed by the $T_{cc}^+$, $D^{\ast}_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ states.

The use of optimal profiles increases the overlap with the ground state significantly and grants access to excited states, for multiple quantum numbers.

    Full-fledged Quantum computation/simulation of lattice QCD is a long-term goal and requires developing a set of strategies starting from foundational level. This includes a convenient Hamiltonian framework for the theory along with the Hilbert space construction compatible with the principle of gauge invariance. The recently developed Loop-string-hadron approach is a promising framework for...

    Quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimensions (the Schwinger model) exhibits a number of features similar to quantum chromodynamics in 3+1D, including confinement and a fermion condensate, making it the perfect sandbox during the NISQ era. In this talk, I will present new scalable algorithms that use the symmetries and hierarchy of length scales in the Schwinger model (and generally applicable to...

    We present a couple of methods to compute the mass spectra of composite particles (hadrons) in gauge theories,
    which can be implemented in quantum computing or tensor networks in the Hamiltonian formalism.
    The hadron mass can be efficiently computed from the one-point function, combining the correlation function to deal with the operator mixing.
    Alternatively, we can obtain the dispersion...

    Current noisy quantum computers can be already used to investigate properties of quantum systems. Here we focus on lattice QED in (2+1)D including fermionic matter.
    This complex quantum field theory with dynamical gauge and matter fields has similarities with QCD, in particular asymptotic freedom and confinement.
    We define a suitable setup to measure the static potential between two static...

    We review recent proposals to quantum simulate lattice gauge theories with configurable arrays of Rydberg atoms. We discuss possible implementations with remote access of facilities open to the general public. We discuss new methods to measure the entanglement entropy using a single copy of quantum systems.

    We demonstrate the steps to study the dynamics of a field theory model using a digital computer, with an example of the SYK model. We present calculations on IBM's superconducting quantum computer and state-of-the-art results using various error mitigation techniques. Specifically, we compute the vacuum return probability and out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC) at different times, standard...

    Motivated by recent developments in quantum computing, many efforts have been devoted to exploring their potential applications in high-energy physics, particularly in simulation of lattice gauge theories. However, the capability of present quantum computers is very limited due to noise, and simulating the physics problems is still challenging. In this presentation, we talk about a digital...

    Complex quantum many-body dynamics spread initially localized quantum information across the entire system. Information scrambling refers to such a process, whose simulation is one of the promising applications of quantum computing. We demonstrate the Hayden-Preskill recovery protocol and the interferometric protocol for calculating out-of-time-ordered correlators to study the scrambling...

    Quantum computers offer a promising new approach to studying real-time dynamics, which remains challenging for traditional methods like Monte Carlo simulations and tensor networks. In this talk, I will present progress on two key areas: simulating particle scattering and calculating parton distribution functions (PDFs) in 1+1 dimensions using digital quantum computing.

    We propose a setup to...

    Relativistic hydrodynamics has been used to study collective behavior of light particles produced in heavy ion collisions. It has been shown that hydrodynamic calculations with a small shear viscosity give results that agree well with experimental data. Furthermore, a holographic calculation showed that the ratio of shear viscosity and entropy density is as small as 1/(4pi) for strongly...

    Quantum mechanical theories have an underlying convex geometry defined by the fact that the Hilbert-space norm is positive definite. Positivity is a surprisingly strong constraint, which when combined with other information (such as lattice data, Schwinger-Dyson relations, or equations of motion), allows one to establish qualitatively tight bounds on the behavior of many quantum systems,...

    I discuss a quantum algorithm to compute the logarithm of the determinant of the staggered fermion matrix, assuming access to a classical lattice gauge field configuration. The algorithm uses the quantum eigenvalue transform, and quantum mean estimation, giving a query complexity that scales like O(V log(V)) in the matrix dimension V.

    The infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of SU(3) gauge field makes the quantum simulation of QCD difficult. In this talk, I would like to propose Z3 lattice gauge theory as a toy model with the finite-dimensional Hilbert space. I will discuss the similarity and difference compared with QCD and the application to quantum simulation.

    Non-abelian gauge theories play a pivotal role in our description of the universe, from low to high-energies, but their complexity hinders our understanding of their emergent phenomena. In this talk, we will consider a one-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory with dynamical matter, the simplest theory supporting the existence of baryons and mesons. We will show how to build a quantum...

    Real-time dynamics of Quantum Chromodynamics and other strongly coupled gauge theories present significant challenges for standard Monte Carlo methods due to severe sign problems. This limitation makes these problems ideal candidates for quantum simulation techniques. Identifying phenomena that can be tackled using near-term quantum simulators is crucial for understanding real-time dynamics in...

    The recent advancements towards scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing have brought excitement about simulating lattice gauge theories on quantum computers. However, digital quantum computers require truncating the infinite-dimensional link Hilbert space to finite dimensions. In this talk, we focus on the $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ gauge theory coupled to $N_f$ flavor of quarks and propose a...
