We simulate lattice QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) at zero and finite temperatures. At some $\mu_I=\mu_c$ QCD has a second order transition with mean-field critical exponents to a state where ($I_3$) is…
We have simulated QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) to probe part of the phase diagram for nuclear matter. Preliminary results suggest that for $\mu_I > \mu_c$, this theory forms a charged pion condensate which…
We perform simulations of (3-colour) QCD with 2 quark flavours at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin($I_3$), and of 2-colour QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu$ for quark number. At zero temperature, QCD at finite $\mu_I$…

We consider the thermodynamics of three-flavor QCD in the pion-condensed phase at nonzero isospin chemical potential ($\mu_I$) and vanishing temperature using chiral perturbation theory in the isospin limit. The transition from the vacuum…
At sufficiently high temperature and density, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is expected to undergo a phase transition from the confined phase to the quark-gluon plasma phase. In the Lagrangian lattice formulation the Monte Carlo method works…
Introduction of a nonzero isospin chemical potential in QCD leads to the emergence of a pion condensed phase at sufficiently large $\mu_I$, bounded by a second order transition line. At zero temperature the pion condensate appears at $\mu_I…
We determine the QCD equation of state at nonzero temperature in the presence of an isospin asymmetry between the light quark chemical potentials on the lattice. Our simulations employ $N_f=2+1$ flavors of dynamical staggered quarks at…

I review recent lattice results on strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, with emphasis on the finite-temperature QCD transition at $\mu_B=0$, its approach toward the chiral limit and the fate of the $U_A(1)$ anomaly, as well…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature (T), baryon chemical potential (\muB) and isospin chemical potential (\muI) is studied in the strong coupling limit on a lattice with staggered fermions. With the use of large dimensional…
QCD at a finite quark-number chemical potential $\mu$ has a complex fermion determinant, which precludes its study by standard lattice QCD simulations. We therefore simulate lattice QCD at finite $\mu$ in the phase-quenched approximation,…
