Abstract

I discuss lattice QCD calculations of the properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature, including the determination of the transition temperature T_c, equation of state, different static screening lengths and quarkonium spectral functions. The lattice data suggest that at temperatures above 2.0T_c many properties of the quark gluon plasma can be understood using weak coupling approach, although non-perturbative effects due to static magnetic fields are significant in some quantities.
