We sketch the basic ideas of the lattice regularization in Quantum Field Theory, the corresponding Monte Carlo simulations, and applications to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). This approach enables the numerical measurement of observables at the non-perturbative level. We comment on selected results, with a focus on hadron masses and the link to Chiral Perturbation Theory. At last we address two outstanding issues: topological freezing and the sign problem.

Conjecture about the 2-Flavour QCD Phase Diagram
The QCD phase diagram, in particular its sector of high baryon density, is one of the most prominent outstanding mysteries within the Standard Model of particle physics. We sketch a project how to…
Use of a non-relativistic basis for describing the low energy meson spectrum
We justify the use of harmonic oscillator eigenfunctions for expanding the fermionic fields of an effective field theory and evaluate its utility for solving a Hamiltonian inspired by the QCD…
Low-energy meson spectrum from a QCD approach based on many-body methods
The Tamm–Dancoff Approximation (TDA) and Random Phase Approximation (RPA) many-body methods are applied to an effective Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge. The gluon…
TDA and RPA pseudoscalar and vector solutions for the low energy regime of a motivated QCD Hamiltonian.
We present the low energy meson spectrum of a Coulomb gauge QCD motivated Hamiltonian for light and strange quarks. We have used the harmonic oscillator as a trial basis and performed a…

Theoretical estimates of the width of light-meson states in the SO(4) (2+1)-flavor limit
The low-energy sector of the mesonic spectrum exhibits some features which may be understood in terms of the SO(4) symmetry contained in the QCD-Hamiltonian written in the Coulomb Gauge. In our…

Mass of the Bc meson in three-flavor lattice QCD.

Low-energy couplings of QCD from topological zero-mode wave functions
By matching 1/m(2) divergences in finite-volume two-point correlation functions of the scalar or pseudoscalar densities with those obtained in chiral perturbation theory, we derive a relation between…
