The hadronic matrix elements of dimension-six $\Delta F=0,2$ operators are crucial inputs for the theory predictions of mixing observables and lifetime ratios in the $B$ and $D$ system. We determine them using HQET sum rules for three-point correlators. The results of the required three-loop computation of the correlators and the one-loop computation of the QCD-HQET matching are given in analytic form. For mixing matrix elements we find very good agreement with recent lattice results and comparable theoretical uncertainties. For lifetime matrix elements we present the first ever determination in the $D$ meson sector and the first determination of $\Delta B=0$ matrix elements with uncertainties under control - superseeding preliminary lattice studies stemming from 2001 and earlier. With our state-of-the-art determination of the bag parameters we predict: $\tau(B^+)/\tau(B_d^0) = 1.082_{-0.026}^{+0.022}$, $\tau(B_s^0)/\tau(B_d^0) = 1.0007\pm0.0025$, $\tau(D^+)/\tau(D^0) = 2.7_{-0.8}^{+0.7}$ and the mixing-observables in the $B_s$ and $B_d$ system, in good agreement with the most recent experimental averages.

Predictions for $b$-baryon lifetimes at NNLO-QCD
NNLO-QCD corrections to the free b-quark decay and NLO corrections to dimension-five operators reduce uncertainties in HQE predictions for b-baryon lifetimes, yielding excellent agreement with experiment.

New insights into the $b\rightarrow c \bar{u}q$ puzzle through Top-Bottom synergies
Anomalies in b to c u-bar q transitions remain puzzling as proposed new physics scenarios involving SU(2) doublets are not significantly relaxed by collider dilution or factorization breakdown.
