Abstract

The status of lattice calculations for heavy quark systems is reviewed, focussing on weak matrix elements for leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of heavy mesons. After an assessment of the main systematic errors, results for the decay constants fDf_D and fBf_B, the BB parameter describing BBˉB - \bar{B} mixing, the Isgur-Wise function and the spectroscopy of heavy baryons are discussed.
