Abstract
Using variational methods, we numerically investigate the matrix model for the two-color QCD coupled to a single quark (matrix-QCD2,1) in the limit of ultrastrong Yang-Mills coupling (g=�). The spectrum of the model has superselection sectors labeled by baryon number B and spin J. We study sectors with B=0, 1, 2 and J=0, 1, which may be organized as mesons, (anti-)diquarks and (anti-)tetraquarks. For each of these sectors, we study the properties of the respective ground states in both chiral and heavy quark limits, and uncover a rich quantum phase transition (QPT) structure. We also investigate the division of the total spin between the glue and the quark and show that glue contribution is significant for several of these sectors. For the (B,J)=(0,0) sector, we find that the dominant glue contribution to the ground state comes from reducible connections. Finally, in the presence of nontrivial baryon chemical potential μ, we construct the phase diagram of the model. For sufficiently large μ, we find that the ground state of the theory may have nonzero spin. © 2024 authors.
