Path from Lattice QCD to the Short-Distance Contribution to 0νββ Decay with a Light Majorana Neutrino.
TLDR
The result of this work fills the gap between first-principles studies of the nn→pp(ee) amplitude from lattice QCD and those from effective field theory, and can be readily employed in the ongoing lattice-QCD studies of this process.
Toward simulating quantum field theories with controlled phonon-ion dynamics: A hybrid analog-digital approach
Quantum field theories are the cornerstones of modern physics, providing relativistic and quantum mechanical descriptions of physical systems at the most fundamental level. Simulating real-time…
Ab Initio Structure Factors for Spin-Dependent Dark Matter Direct Detection.
We present converged ab initio calculations of structure factors for elastic spin-dependent WIMP scattering off all nuclei used in dark matter direct-detection searches: ^{19}F, ^{23}Na, ^{27}Al,…
Digital Quantum Simulation of the Schwinger Model and Symmetry Protection with Trapped Ions
Tracking the dynamics of physical systems in real time is a prime application of quantum computers. Using a trapped-ion system with up to six qubits, we simulate the real-time dynamics of a lattice…

From asymptotic freedom to $\theta$ vacua: Qubit embeddings of the O(3) nonlinear $\sigma$ model
Conventional lattice formulations of θ vacua in the 1 + 1 -dimensional O (3) nonlinear sigma model suffer from a sign problem. Here, we construct the first sign-problem-free regularization for…
Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay: A Roadmap for Matching Theory to Experiment
The observation of neutrino oscillations and hence non-zero neutrino masses provided a milestone in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. But even though we now know that neutrinos are…
Preparation of the SU(3) lattice Yang-Mills vacuum with variational quantum methods

Determining the leading-order contact term in neutrinoless double β decay
We present a method to determine the leading-order (LO) contact term contributing to the nn → ppe − e − amplitude through the exchange of light Majorana neutrinos. Our approach is based on the…

Two-neutrino double-beta decay of certain nuclear isotopes is one of the rarest Standard Model processes observed in nature. Its neutrinoless counterpart is an exotic lepton-number nonconserving…
Heavy Physics Contributions to Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay from QCD.
TLDR
Using lattice QCD, the necessary matrix elements of short-range operators, which arise due to heavy BSM mediators, that contribute to this decay via the leading order π^{-}→π^{+} exchange diagrams are computed.
