abstract
We simulate $N_f=2+1$ QCD at the physical point combining open and periodic boundary conditions in a parallel tempering framework, following the original proposal by M. Hasenbusch for $2d$ $\mathrm{CP}^{N-1}$ models, which has been recently implemented and widely employed in $4d$ $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ pure Yang-Mills theories too. We show that using this algorithm it is possible to achieve a sizable reduction of the auto-correlation time of the topological charge in dynamical fermions simulations both at zero and finite temperature, allowing to avoid topology freezing down to lattice spacings as fine as $a \sim 0.02$ fm. Therefore, this implementation of the Parallel Tempering on Boundary Conditions algorithm has the potential to substantially push forward the investigation of the QCD vacuum properties by means of lattice simulations.

First non-asymptotic-scaling determination of the large-N Yang-Mills Λ-parameter yields √(8t₀)Λ_MS(N=∞) = 0.639(36).
Out-of-equilibrium simulations with open-to-periodic boundary switching plus a tailored stochastic normalizing flow enable efficient topology sampling in the continuum limit of four-dimensional SU(3) Yang-Mills theory.
Metadynamics bias potentials and volume-extrapolation strategies reduce integrated autocorrelation times of topological charge in lattice gauge theories.
Gradient-flow scales are set for SU(3), SU(5), SU(8) and large-N Yang-Mills down to 0.025 fm using twisted volume reduction and topology-taming algorithms.
The FLAG 2024 review provides updated averages of lattice QCD determinations for quark masses, decay constants, form factors, mixing parameters, and nucleon matrix elements.
