Simulating Dense Matter

Abstract

I review the Sign Problem hindering lattice QCD simulations of dense baryonic matter, focussing where possible on its physical relevance. The possibility of avoiding the Sign Problem via a duality transformation is also briefly considered. Finally, I review evidence for deconfinement at non-zero quark density in recent simulations of Two Color QCD.
