In recent years, reallistic unquenched QCD simulations have been carried out with various lattice actions. In this report, I explain the progress in theory and algorithms and some of the physics results.
A brief review on the recent theoretical progress in hot/dense QCD is given. Special emphasis is put on the non-perturbative aspects of QCD plasma and the modification of hadron proporties near the critical temperature of chiral transition.
A hierarchy of effective field theories is used to separate the contributions from different momentum scales and to calculate the free energy of QCD at high temperature in powers of the coupling constant up to order $g^5$. The behavior of…

We summarize our results on the phase diagram of QCD with emphasis on the high temperature regime. For $T \ge 1.5 T_c$ the results are compatible with a free field behavior, while for $T \simeq 1.1 T_c$ this is not the case, clearly…
