Description

Simulations with a finite chemical potential typically lead to a severe sign problem, prohibiting any standard Monte Carlo approach. For simulations of QCD we use the complex Langevin method, for which we apply adaptive step-sizes and gauge cooling to ensure the convergence. We present preliminary results for heavy quark QCD and explore the application for two dynamical quarks.
