Description

Starting from low energy hadronic input from the particle data book,
we perform a non-perturbative lattice computation of running couplings
up to scales of around 100GeV. The continuum limit is controlled in all
stages. These non-perturbative computations are performed in the
three-flavor theory, yielding $\Lambda^{(3)}$ with around $4\%$ precision.
Matching accross flavor thresholds with 4-loop perturbation theory then yields
$\alpha_s^{(5)}(m_Z)$ with sub-percent precision where an error estimated
as the contribution of the two highest orders of perturbation theory is
a small component in the overall error budget.
