Non-perturbative studies of the thermodynamics of strongly interacting elementary particles within the context of lattice regularized QCD are being reviewed. After a short introduction into thermal QCD on the lattice we report on the present status of investigations of bulk properties. In particular, we discuss the present knowledge of the phase diagram including recent developments of QCD at non-zero baryon number density. We continue with the results obtained so far for the transition temperature as well as the temperature dependence of energy and pressure and comment on screening and the heavy quark free energies. A major section is devoted to the discussion of thermal modifications of hadron properties, taking special account of recent progress through the use of the maximum entropy method.

Observation and studies of jet quenching in PbPb collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=2.76 TeV (2011, background): “A new form of matter [1–4] formed at energy densities above ∼1 GeV/fm3 is predicted in Lattice QCD calculations [5].”
QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential from Dyson–Schwinger equations (2018, background): “Methods like Taylor expansion, re-weighting schemes or extrapolation from imaginary chemical potential (where the sign problem is not present) thus allow for indirect access to quantities at moderate chemical potential [28–31].”
Measurement of nuclear modification factors of ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) mesons in PbPb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV (2018, background): “It has been predicted that in such an environment, a strongly interacting medium of deconfined quarks and gluons (the quark– gluon plasma, QGP) is formed [1,2].”
Sound waves in strongly coupled non-conformal gauge theory plasma (2005, unknown): “11 in [21], [22], [23], and references therein).”
Hadron resonance mass spectrum and lattice QCD thermodynamics (2003, unknown): “which also is shown in Fig. 3. For pion masses mPS ∼ (6– 7) √ σ � 2.5 GeV the transition temperature reaches the pure gauge value, Tc/ √ σ � 0.632(2) [ 27 ].”
Observation and studies of jet quenching in PbPb collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy = 2.76 TeV (2011, background): “A new form of matter [1–4] formed at energy densities above ∼1 GeV/fm3 is predicted in Lattice QCD calculations [5].”
Continuity, deconfinement, and (super) Yang-Mills theory (2012, background): “In the case of Nc = 3 QCD with three flavors of fundamental fermions it is known that relatively large values of the fermion mass, m >∼ 5Λ, are needed in order for the phase transition to approach the deconfinement transition of the pure gauge theory [22].”
