This conference talk by William Jay from Colorado State University explores numerical analytic continuation techniques for Lattice Field Theory. Delve into the complex world of strongly interacting Quantum Field Theory (QFT) with applications to physical systems, particularly focusing on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and the strong nuclear force. Learn about recent developments in Lattice Gauge Theory that have transformed it into a precision tool through improved algorithms, theoretical insights, and increased computational power. The presentation covers the interplay between lattice and continuum approaches to QFT, including Euclidean and Hamiltonian approaches, their symmetries, and connections with quantum simulation and computation. Explore string-theoretic approaches to confining flux tubes, dynamics in Minkowski spacetime, lower-dimensional QCD models, and their relationship with recent formal QFT developments like generalized symmetries. This 42-minute talk is part of a conference co-sponsored by the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings and coordinated by Aleksey Cherman, Lance Dixon, and Igor Klebanov at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.
