Project description DEENESFRITPL Predicting observable parameters that have yet to be measured All matter is made up of 12 matter particles, 6 quarks and 6 leptons. Their interactions are governed by four forces mediated by the exchange of "force carrier" particles. Hadrons are composite particles made up of multiple quarks held together by gluons, the carrier of the strong force. Hadrons include protons and neutrons, and investigations of difficult-to-observe hadronic properties and strong interactions are the subject of lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD). This is the only known mathematical method for investigating hadronic properties without the input of empirical observations and is of growing importance to our predictions about our particle world. The EU-funded multiQCD project is computing challenging time-like hadronic observables through numerical simulations of LQCD. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) is the only known systematic framework to obtain ab-initio results in the non-perturbative regime of strong interactions. Its relevance to high-energy and nuclear physics has grown significantly in recent years due in part to a series of algorithmic advancements.This project aims to compute time-like observables using numerical simulations of LQCD. Specifically, I will study spectral functions including the R-ratio, that is linked to the hadronic vacuum polarization of the electromagnetic current, and the hadronic tensor, that contains information on deep-inelastic scattering.It is extremely challenging to compute observables intrinsically defined in Minkowski spacetime with lattice techniques, with the main issue being that the simulated quantum field theory is defined in Euclidean spacetime. While Euclidean correlators contain all the information needed to extract real-time physics, performing the analytic continuation with finite-precision data points from numerical simulations is an ill-posed problem. A second issue is that the the computational cost is driven by the loss of the signal of hadronic correlators with Euclidean-time separation, that happens at an exponential rate.I will address these issues and significantly reduce the computational effort needed thanks to algorithms advancements. I plan to solve the signal-to-noise ratio problem using and further developing multi-level Monte Carlo sampling methods, that I recently contributed to extend to theories with fermions. The resulting exponential gain in the quality of the signal is essential to be able to perform the analytic continuation, that I plan to control using state-of-the-art techniques based on the Backus-Gilbert algorithm that have recently been developed by the supervisor.
