Bayesian inference of real-time dynamics from lattice QCD
Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The computation of dynamical properties of nuclear matter, ranging from parton distribution functions of nucleons and nuclei to transport properties in the quark-gluon plasma, constitutes a central goal of modern theoretical ... -
Bottomonium suppression at RHIC and LHC
Krouppa, Brandon; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Strickland, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)The strong suppression of heavy quarkonia is a good indicator that one has generated a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision. Recent advancements in first principles calculations of the heavy ... -
Bryan’s Maximum Entropy Method—Diagnosis of a Flawed Argument and Its Remedy
Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)The Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) is a popular data analysis technique based on Bayesian inference, which has found various applications in the research literature. While the MEM itself is well-grounded in statistics, I ... -
The complex heavy-quark potential in an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma — Statics and dynamics
Dong, Lihua; Guo, Yun; Islam, Ajaharul; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Strickland, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We generalize a complex heavy-quark potential model from an isotropic QCD plasma to an anisotropic one by replacing the Debye mass mD with an anisotropic screening mass depending on the quark pair alignment with respect ... -
Heavy quarkonium in extreme conditions

A new variational discretization technique for initial value problems bypassing governing equations
Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Nordström, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03)Motivated by the fact that both the classical and quantum description of nature rest on causality and a variational principle, we develop a novel and highly versatile discretization prescription for classical initial value ... -
Open-quantum-systems approach to in-medium heavy quarkonium dynamics
Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Heavy quarkonium continues to play a central role in the study of nuclear matter under extremes of temperature and density in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this talk I report on recent developments in the theoretical ... -
