Flavor physics is the field that explores new physics in a bottom-up approach by comprehensive and precise measurements of processes that occur through weak interactions, leading to small theoretical uncertainty. Flavor physics is also the only method that can observe CP violation at this moment. The goal is to explore the mysteries of matter-antimatter asymmetry and the origin of flavor structures. In recent years, progress in experimental techniques and improvements in lattice QCD simulations have boosted sensitivity to new physics search, and even reported several flavor anomalies. Based on these backgrounds, I will review some of the recent progress of theories related to B anomaly, which is currently attracting particular attention in the community. Furthermore, I will discuss the current tension in the unitarity condition of the CKM matrix, which is also related to nuclear physics.

Teppei Kitahara. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2015, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and then at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. From 2018 to 2020, he was a long-term visiting researcher at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion). After working as an assistant professor at Nagoya University, he has been an associate professor at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences since 2023. In 2018, he received the Young Scientist Award of the Physical Society of Japan (Theoretical Particle Physics), and in 2023, he received the Particle Physics Medal: Young Scientist Award in Theoretical Particle Physics in Japan. His main research areas are supersymmetric models, CP violation, flavor physics, dark matter, and effective field theories.
