The ~4σ discrepancy between the experiment and the data-driven theory prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is one of the crucial benchmarks to verify the correctness of the standard model. On the lattice QCD side, the Budapest-Marseille-Wuppertal collaboration (BMWc) has a precise full calculation that favors the experimental prediction. Various independent lattice QCD calculations have been done to verify their findings, especially on well-defined ``window quantities'' which suffer fewer lattice artifacts. I will present our lattice calculation of the leading order (LO) hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment for the connected light and strange quarks in the widely used window t0 = 0.4 fm, t1 = 1.0 fm, ∆ = 0.15 fm, and also in the short distance region. We use the overlap fermions on 4 physical-point ensembles. Two 2+1 flavor RBC/UKQCD ensembles use the domain wall fermion (DWF) and Iwasaki gauge actions at a = 0.084 and 0.114 fm, and two 2+1+1 flavor MILC ensembles use the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) and Symanzik gauge actions at a = 0.088 and 0.121 fm. They have incorporated infinite volume corrections from 3 additional DWF ensembles at L = 4.8, 6.4, and 9.6 fm and physical pion mass. Eventually, our results on the connected light and strange quarks in the widely used window agree with the BMWc findings and other most recent lattice calculations which deviate from the data-driven theory prediction.
