Abstract: (SISSA)
The Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix element Vub|V_{ub}| describes the coupling between uu and bb quarks in the weak interaction, and is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. Vub|V_{ub}| is the focus of a longstanding puzzle, as the world-average values derived from inclusive and exclusive BB-meson decays show a tension of a few standard deviations. Semileptonic decays can be used to extract CKM elements by combining a lattice QCD calculation of the form factors and experimental branching fractions. In this report we will focus on the recent progress in lattice QCD calculations and the current status of Vub|V_{ub}|.
