Using <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <a:mi mathvariant="script">N</a:mi> <a:mo>=</a:mo> <a:mn>1</a:mn> </a:math> supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) as a prototype model, this work presents a formulation of overlap quarks and gluinos on the lattice, with particular emphasis on the construction of chirally symmetric Yukawa terms. By incorporating the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, chiral transformations, and the Majorana condition for gluinos, we construct a consistent framework that preserves a lattice-modified chiral symmetry and reduces the number of required counterterms compared to Wilson-type discretizations. The formulation introduces auxiliary fermionic fields to realize exact chiral symmetry in Yukawa interactions and enables a detailed analysis of the resulting matrix structures. Upon functionally integrating out the auxiliary fields, ultralocal interaction terms emerge as new contributions to the lattice action. This approach provides a robust foundation for nonperturbative lattice studies of supersymmetric gauge theories. Future work will focus on computing all perturbative fine-tunings required in this formulation to enable continuum matching and numerical simulations of SQCD.
