Abstract
In this report we consider the numerical simulations at finite temperature using lattice QCD data for the computation of the thermodynamical quantities including the pressure, energy density and the entropy density. These physical quantities can be related to the equation of state for quarks and gluons. We shall apply the lattice data to the evaluation of the specific structure of the gluon and quark condensates at finite temperature in relation to the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions. Finally we mention the quantum nature of the phases at lower temperatures.
