• Correlating confinement to topological fluctuations near the crossover transition in QCD 

      Larsen, Rasmus Normann; Sharma, Sayantan; Shuryak, Edward (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      We show the existence of strong (anti)correlations between the topological hot spots and the local values of the trace of the Polyakov loop in 2+1 flavor QCD with physical quark mass, in the vicinity of the crossover ...
    • Stable solvers for real-time Complex Langevin 

      Alvestad, Daniel; Larsen, Rasmus Normann; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-08)
      This study explores the potential of modern implicit solvers for stochastic partial differential equations in the simulation of real-time complex Langevin dynamics. Not only do these methods offer asymptotic stability, ...
    • Static quark-antiquark interactions at nonzero temperature from lattice QCD 

      Bala, Dibyendu; Kaczmarek, Olaf; Larsen, Rasmus Normann; Mukherjee, Swagato; Parkar, Gaurang Yatin; Petreczky, Peter; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Weber, Johannes Heinrich (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      flavor lattice QCD calculations. The study consists of two parts. The first investigates the properties of Wilson line correlators in Coulomb gauge and compares to predictions of hard-thermal loop perturbation theory. As ...
    • Towards learning optimized kernels for complex Langevin 

      Alvestad, Daniel; Larsen, Rasmus Normann; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We present a novel strategy aimed at restoring correct convergence in complex Langevin simulations. The central idea is to incorporate system-specific prior knowledge into the simulations, in order to circumvent the NP-hard ...
