We developed a Hamiltonian inspired by ASQTAD and highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) actions and show how these Hamiltonians can be used for quantum simulations. Gate costs for the time evolution of these improved Hamiltonians are provided as well as a demonstration of the reduction of lattice spacing errors using the 1+1d lattice Schwinger model.

We give an update on the status of the Fermilab Lattice-HPQCD-MILC calculation of the contribution to the muon's anomolous magnetic moment from the light-quark, connected hadronic vacuum polarization. We present preliminary, blinded results in the intermediate window for this contribution, $a_{\mu, \textrm{W}}^{ll}$. The calculation is performed on $N_f =2+1+1$ highly-improved staggered quark (HISQ) ensembles from the MILC collaboration with physical pion mass at four lattice spacings between 0.15 fm and 0.06 fm. We also present preliminary results for a study of the two-pion contributions to the vector-current correlation function performed on the 0.15 fm ensemble where we see a factor of four improvement over traditional noise reduction techniques.
The MILC Collaboration has completed production running of electromagnetic effects on light mesons using asqtad improved staggered quarks. In these calculations, we use quenched photons in the noncompact formalism. We study four lattice spacings from $\approx\!0.12\:$fm to $\approx\!0.045\:$fm. To study finite-volume effects, we used six spatial lattice sizes $L/a=12$, 16, 20, 28, 40, and 48, at $a\!\approx\!0.12\:$fm. We update our preliminary values for the correction to Dashen's theorem ($\epsilon$) and the quark-mass ratio $m_u/m_d$.
