Description
Quarkonia are versatile probes to study the hot primordial nuclear matter. Their dynamics are usually described through models based on resummed perturbative QCD, AdS, and effective field theories. It is not immediately obvious to which extent these models can describe the strongly coupled media most relevant to phenomenology. The lattice provides nonperturbative input and constraints to such models.
In-medium bottomonia and the complex static quark-antiquark potential are key quantities where lattice gauge theory has recently achieved significant progress with major impact for heavy-ion phenomenology. I review the recent lattice results, relate them to phenomenology, and close with an outlook.
