We discuss methods to extract decay constants, meson masses and gluonic observables in the presence of open boundary conditions. The ensembles have been generated by the CLS effort and have 2+1 flavors of O(a)-improved Wilson fermions with a small twisted-mass term as proposed by Luscher and Palombi. We analyse the effect of the associated reweighting factors on the computation of different observables.

We present selected results obtained by RQCD from simulations of $N_f=2+1$ flavours of non-perturbatively $mathcal{O}(a)$ improved Wilson fermions, employing open boundary conditions in time. The ensembles were created within the CLS (Coordinated Lattice Simulations) effort at five different values of the lattice spacing, ranging from 0.085fm down to below 0.04fm. Many quark mass combinations were realized, in particular along lines where the sum of the bare quark masses was kept fixed as well as trajectories of an approximately physical renormalized strange quark mass. Several key observables, including meson and baryon masses and the axial charge of the nucleon have been computed, and preliminary results are presented here. In some cases an accurate and controlled extrapolation to the continuum limit has become possible.
We present the nonperturbative computation of renormalization factors in the RI-(S)MOM schemes for the QCD gauge field ensembles generated by the CLS (coordinated lattice simulations) effort with three flavors of nonperturbatively improved Wilson (clover) quarks. We use ensembles with the standard (anti-)periodic boundary conditions in the time direction as well as gauge field configurations with open boundary conditions. Besides flavor-nonsinglet quark-antiquark operators with up to two derivatives we also consider three-quark operators with up to one derivative. For the RI-SMOM scheme results we make use of the recently calculated three-loop conversion factors to the modified minimal subtraction scheme.
The gradient flow provides a new class of renormalized observables which can be measured with high precision in lattice simulations. In principle this allows for many interesting applications to renormalization and improvement problems. In practice, however, such applications are made difficult by the rather large cutoff effects found in many gradient flow observables. At lowest order of perturbation theory we here study the leading cutoff effects in a finite volume gradient flow coupling with SF and SF-open boundary conditions. We confirm that O($a^2$) Symanzik improvement is achieved at tree-level, provided the action, observable and the flow are O($a^2$) improved. O($a^2$) effects from the time boundaries are found to be absent at this order, both with SF and SF-open boundary conditions. For the calculation we have used a convenient representation of the free gauge field propagator at finite flow times which follows from a recently proposed set-up by Luscher and renders lattice perturbation theory more practical at finite flow time and with SF, open, SF-open or open-SF boundary conditions.
In a previous paper [1], we have discussed the non-perturbative tuning of the chirally rotated Schroedinger functional (XSF). This tuning is required to eliminate bulk O(a) cutoff effects in physical correlation functions. Using our tuning results obtained in [1] we perform scaling and universality tests analyzing the residual O(a) cutoff effects of several step-scaling functions and we compute renormalization factors at the matching scale. As an example of possible application of the XSF we compute the renormalized strange quark mass using large volume data obtained from Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist.
Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. This would give access to Minkowski-signature correlators, in contrast to the Euclidean calculations routinely performed at present. However, as with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size, including a finite, usually periodic, spatial volume. In this work, we investigate the consequences of this in the extraction of hadronic and Compton-like scattering amplitudes. Using the framework presented in Phys. Rev. D101 014509 (2020), we quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty, even for volumes that are very large by the standards of present-day Euclidean calculations. We then present an improvement strategy, based in the fact that the finite volume has a reduced symmetry. This implies that kinematic points, which yield the same Lorentz invariants, may still be physically distinct in the finite-volume system. As we demonstrate, both numerically and analytically, averaging over such sets can significantly suppress the unwanted volume distortions and improve the extraction of the physical scattering amplitudes.
