A theoretical study of the quark-gluon plasma, created at RHIC and the LHC, requires a non-perturbative approach, such as lattice QCD. I discuss a number of recent lattice results on quarkonia, transport and spectral functions: the survival of bottomonium ground states, at zero and nonzero momentum, the melting of excited states, and the conductivity of the QGP across the deconfinement transition.
