Andreas Juttner (CERN)27/07/2026, 09:153Quark and lepton flavor physicsPlenary talk
The quark-flavour sector remains one of the most promising avenues for uncovering physics beyond the Standard Model, with an experimental programme set to sharpen its precision, and extend the set of measured quantities, well into the 2040s. Matching this requires lattice QCD to tackle existing and new formal challenges, and to work in ever-closer partnership with experiment.

Stefan Sint (Trinity College Dublin)27/07/2026, 10:005Standard-Model parametersPlenary talk
The strong coupling, $\alpha_s(m_Z)$, is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model and its precise determination is of central importance to particle physics. It is ubiquitous in the description of hadron collider physics: its uncertainty directly affects the control of initial parton states, e.g. in $pp$-collisions at the LHC, and limits precision studies of Higgs boson production and...

Shoji Hashimoto (KEK)27/07/2026, 11:004Quark and lepton flavor physicsPlenary talk
A broad class of physical observables can be expressed in terms of smeared spectral functions. Important examples include the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon gโ2, hadronic ฯ decays, inclusive semileptonic B and D decays, and amplitudes for rare processes such as BโKl+lโ. In recent years, a variety of methods have been proposed to reconstruct or constrain such spectral...

Xin-Yu Tuo (Brookhaven national laboratory)27/07/2026, 11:302Quark and lepton flavor physicsPlenary talk
As precision tests of the Standard Model enter the sub-percent era, radiative corrections in hadronic processes become indispensable theoretical inputs for identifying small deviations between theory and experiment that could signal new physics. Theoretical predictions of radiative corrections are highly challenging, as they intertwine long-distance QED effects with nonperturbative QCD and...

Thomas Spriggs (QuTech and Delft University of Technology)28/07/2026, 11:003Algorithms and artificial intelligencePlenary talk
In this talk I will give an introduction to neural network quantum states: a flexible, gauge-symmetry-aware, approach to find the ground state wavefunction of Abelian and non-Abelian lattice gauge theories. I will introduce this method in the context of spin systems, where it was first developed, briefly touching upon some of the applications in condensed matter and quantum chemistry, before...

Antonio Smecca (INFN - Sezione di Roma Tre)28/07/2026, 11:304QCD at nonzero temperature and densityPlenary talk
The $U(1)_A$ symmetry is explicitly broken by the axial anomaly, but it may be effectively restored at finite temperature. Over the years lattice QCD studies presented contradictory evidence as to whether this restoration occurs near the chiral transition temperature. In this talk I will review recent theoretical and numerical developments on the fate of $U(1)_A$ in hot QCD, including results...

Robert Perry (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)30/07/2026, 09:301Hadronic and nuclear spectrum and interactionsPlenary talk
Lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) offers the tantalizing prospect of grounding nuclear physics in the fundamental theory of the strong force. Besides the importance of these calculations to reveal the emergence of nuclear complexity from the Standard Model, current theoretical modelling of nuclear targets used in experimental searches for physics beyond the Standard Model often lead to...

Erez Zohar (Tel Aviv University)31/07/2026, 09:001Quantum computing and quantum informationPlenary talk
Tensor network states are powerpful variational guess states rooted in quantum information theory, which take into account the expected entanglement structure (area law) of physically relevant states and therefore significantly reduce the complexity of searching for them. I will give a brief introduction to these states and their special properties, and focus on their application for the study...

Hersh Singh (Fermilab)31/07/2026, 09:301Theoretical developments and applications beyond the Standard ModelPlenary talk
A nonperturbative definition of chiral gauge theories remains a long-standing open problem. Hamiltonian formulations, motivated in part by quantum simulation and tensor-network methods, offer a fresh perspective on old questions: fermion doubling and the fate of the NielsenโNinomiya theorem. Drawing on recent advances in our understanding of anomalies on the lattice, I will survey these...

Gunnar Bali (Universitรคt Regensburg)31/07/2026, 11:004Structure of hadrons and nucleiPlenary talk
Almost all the known mass of the universe can be attributed to nucleons. Accurate knowledge of the nucleon structure in terms of the quark and gluon degrees of freedom is essential for precisely extracting standard model parameters, including those in the neutrino sector. This knowledge is also crucial for our eventual discovery of physics beyond the standard model in colliders, fixed target...

Andrea Shindler01/08/2026, 09:452Theoretical developments and applications beyond the Standard ModelPlenary talk
The gradient flow has become a powerful and versatile tool in lattice QCD calculations. At positive flow time, gauge and fermion fields are smoothed over a physical radius of order $\sqrt{t}$, providing an additional ultraviolet regulator that can simplify the construction and analysis of lattice observables. Physical quantities are then recovered by combining continuum extrapolations at fixed...

Lu Meng (Southeast University)01/08/2026, 11:003Hadronic and nuclear spectrum and interactionsPlenary talk
Multi-hadron spectroscopy from lattice QCD commonly relies on Lรผscher-type finite-volume methods to extract infinite-volume scattering amplitudes from discrete energy levels. While highly successful for short-range interactions, standard analyses based on this strategy can become problematic when light-particle exchange generates nearby left-hand cuts.
In this talk, I will review recent...

Christopher Monahan01/08/2026, 11:302Structure of hadrons and nucleiPlenary talk
The determination of x-dependent hadron structure from lattice QCD is an increasingly mature endeavour; precision calculations, with control over all systematic uncertainties, hover on the horizon. Precise and accurate lattice calculations will complement the experimental data expected from JLab 12GeV and the future Electron-Ion Collider and shed new light on the internal structure of hadrons....

Mr Gergely Marko (Eotvos Lorand University, Institute of Physics)01/08/2026, 12:002Theoretical developments and applications beyond the Standard ModelContributed talk
Axions were first proposed as a solution to the strong CP problem, but they also act as prime dark matter candidates. Detection of axions hinges on their conversion to photons, governed by the axion-photon coupling. Besides the direct, modeling dependent part, coupling can be realized through sea effects of the strong interaction. The value of the latter can be calculated directly from QCD. We...
