Abstract. I review a few selected topics

in lattice quantum chromodynamics, focusing more on the recent

results.  These include (i) the equation of state and speed of sound,

(ii) $J/\psi$ suppression, (iii) flavour correlations and (iv) the QCD

phase diagram in the $\mu$--$T$ plane.

 

Keywords. Lattice; quantum chromodynamics; quark-gluon plasma;

flavour correlations.
