Hep-Lat, short for High Energy Physics – Lattice, explores the fundamental forces of nature by simulating particle interactions on a digital grid. Instead of relying solely on abstract equations, researchers in this field use powerful computers to model how quarks and gluons bind together, offering deep insights into the structure of matter that are often impossible to derive analytically.
Gist.Science ensures these complex discoveries from arXiv remain accessible to everyone. We process every new preprint in this category as it is posted, providing both plain-language explanations for the curious and detailed technical summaries for experts. This dual approach bridges the gap between cutting-edge simulation work and broader scientific understanding.

This paper presents Monte Carlo estimates for the critical curves (boundaries of maximal convergence domains) in the -plane for three specific two-matrix models with interaction terms $ABBA$, , and $ABAB$, comparing these numerical results with exact solutions and functional renormalization group phase diagrams.
This paper introduces "resolution refinement," an efficient method for bootstrapping quantum eigenstate preparation by adiabatically evolving states from low-resolution to high-resolution Hamiltonians, achieving favorable scaling with system size by preserving the structure of low-energy eigenstates.
This study employs a specifically trained, minimal multilayer perceptron to successfully identify the critical temperatures of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic -state Potts model on a square lattice, revealing that the case is critical only at zero temperature while the cases remain disordered across all temperatures.
This paper presents a non-perturbative lattice QCD determination of the scheme- and scale-independent low-energy constant using staggered fermion simulations, yielding a final result of that significantly improves upon previous estimates.
This paper reviews recent advances in lattice QCD methods for studying hadron interactions via finite-volume spectroscopy and quantization conditions, while highlighting key results from Lattice 2025 on charmed mesons and doubly charmed and bottom tetraquarks.
This paper presents a new perturbative formalism that relates finite-volume energies and matrix elements to infinite-volume couplings for systems involving up to four pions, enabling the numerical study of volume-dependent spectra and the quantification of four-particle effects in multi-hadron decays.
This paper presents a 2+1+1-flavor lattice QCD calculation of hadronic form factors for and semileptonic decays using highly improved staggered quarks on MILC ensembles, aiming for a percent-level determination of these form factors to enable high-precision measurements of .
Using the two-flavor Linear Sigma Model with quarks, this study demonstrates that meson mixing effects and the resulting Goldstone mode dynamics in isospin-imbalanced matter produce a pronounced peak in the speed of sound whose position and width align well with lattice QCD simulations.
This paper demonstrates the feasibility of simulating the thermalization dynamics of minimally truncated SU(2) lattice gauge theory on current noisy quantum hardware by successfully matching error-mitigated results from IBM quantum computers with classical simulations for chains of up to 101 plaquettes.
This paper introduces a new approach utilizing automatic differentiation to compute high-order derivatives of lattice QCD observables, specifically focusing on strong isospin-breaking effects and the propagation of these derivatives through the conjugate gradient algorithm.
