I give an overview of phenomenological heavy quark results obtained in NRQCD on the lattice. In particular I discuss the bottomonium and the b-light hadron spectrum. I also review recent results on the decay constants f_B and f_B_s.
Lattice techniques are the most reliable ones to investigate non-perturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) such as its phase diagram in the temperature-baryon density plane. They are, however, well-known to be beset with a…
Some important problems in quantitative QCD will certainly yield to hard work and adequate investment of resources, others appear difficult but may be accessible, and still others will require essentially new ideas. Here I identify several…

We review recent progress on heavy flavor physics from lattice QCD.
A remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the hot and dense QCD matter using lattice gauge theory. The issues which are very well understood as well those which require both conceptual as well as algorithmic advances are…
