Smeared spectral functions from lattice QCD: opportunities and challenges

A broad class of physical observables can be expressed in terms of smeared spectral functions. Important examples include the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $g-2$, hadronic $\tau$ decays, inclusive semileptonic $B$ and $D$ decays, and amplitudes for rare processes such as $B\to K^{(*)}\ell^+\ell^...
