The ALPHA collaboration aims to determine $alpha_s(m_Z)$ with a total error below the percent level. A further step towards this goal can be taken by combining results from the recent simulations of 2+1-flavour QCD by the CLS initiative with a number of tools developed over the years: renormalized couplings in finite volume schemes, recursive finite size techniques, two-loop renormalized perturbation theory and the (improved) gradient flow on the lattice. We sketch the strategy, which involves both the standard SF coupling in the high energy regime and a gradient flow coupling at low energies. This implies the need for matching both schemes at an intermediate switching scale, $L_{rm swi}$, which we choose roughly in the range 2-4 GeV. In this contribution we present a preliminary result for this matching procedure, and we then focus on our almost final results for the scale evolution of the SF coupling from $L_{rm swi}$ towards the perturbative regime, where we extract the $N_{rm f} = 3$ ${Lambda}$-parameter, ${Lambda}_{overline{rm MS}}^{N_{rm f}=3}$, in units of $L_{rm swi}$ . Connecting $L_{rm swi}$ and thus the ${Lambda}$-parameter to a hadronic scale such as $F_K$ requires 2 further ingredients: first, the connection of $L_{rm swi}$ to $L_{rm max}$ using a few steps with the step-scaling function of the gradient flow coupling, and, second, the continuum extrapolation of $L_{rm max} F_K$.
We study the nature of the finite temperature phase transition for three-flavor QCD. In particular we investigate the location of the critical endpoint along the three flavor symmetric line in the light quark mass region of the Columbia plot. In the
We investigate the phase structure of 3-flavor QCD in the presence of finite quark chemical potential by using Wilson-Clover fermions. To deal with the complex action with finite density, we adopt the phase reweighting method. In order to survey a wi
We review the ALPHA collaboration strategy for obtaining the QCD coupling at high scale. In the three-flavor effective theory it avoids the use of perturbation theory at $alpha > 0.2$ and at the same time has the physical scales small compared to the
The ${rm SU}(3)$ pure gauge theory exhibits a first-order thermal deconfinement transition due to spontaneous breaking of its global $Z_3$ center symmetry. When heavy dynamical quarks are added, this symmetry is broken explicitly and the transition w
We present results by the ALPHA collaboration for the $Lambda$-parameter in 3-flavour QCD and the strong coupling constant at the electroweak scale, $alpha_s(m_Z)$, in terms of hadronic quantities computed on the CLS gauge configurations. The first p
