Abstract We discuss two special limiting forms of QCD matter which may be produced at RHIC. We conclude from the available empirical evidence that an equilibrated, but strongly coupled quark–gluon plasma has been made in such collisions. We also discuss the growing body of evidence that its source is a color glass condensate.

• Strongly correlated quantum fluids: ultracold quantum gases, quantum chromodynamic plasmas and holographic duality (2012, result): “Together with the observation of a large energy loss of highly energetic probes of the plasma, these results led to the conclusion that the QGP produced at RHIC must be strongly coupled [185, 238].”
• Viscosity, Black Holes, and Quantum Field Theory (2007, background): “Although significant circumstantial evidence for the QGP was accumulated [2], a theoretical interpretation of most of the experimental data proved difficult, because the QGP created at RHIC is far from being a weakly coupled gas of quarks and gluons.”
