“…Nowadays, such an extreme state of matter may occur naturally in the core of compact stellar objects like neutron stars or during neutron star merger events. In a laboratory environment, extreme temperatures and densities can be created in relativistic collisions of heavy particles, see for example [1,2,3,4,5] for reviews. Such heavy-ion collisions are furthermore the only means by which bulk properties of a non-Abelian gauge theory, such as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), can be assessed experimentally.…”

We review the current state of research on electromagnetic probes in the context of heavy-ion collisions. The focus is on thermal photons and dileptons which provide unique insights into the properties of the created hot and dense matter.This review is intended to provide an introductory overview of the topic as well as a discussion of recent theoretical and experimental results. In particular, we discuss the role of vector-meson spectral functions in the calculation of photon and dilepton rates and present recent results obtained from different frameworks. Furthermore, we will highlight the special role of photons and dileptons to provide information on observables such as the temperature, the lifetime, the polarization and the electrical conductivity of the produced medium as well as their use to learn about chiral symmetry restoration and phase transitions.

“…Recent reviews can be found in Refs. [2][3][4] To study properties of the QGP by using quarkonium, theoretical inputs are necessary in addition to the experimental measurements. The real-time dynamics of quarkonium inside the QGP is complicated since the description has to account for plasma screening, dissociation and regeneration of quarkonium states.…”

Quarkonium suppression in relativistic heavy ion collisions has been studied experimentally for decades to probe the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. For this purpose, complete theoretical understanding of the time evolution of quarkonium inside the quark-gluon plasma is needed but challenging. Here I review recent progress in applying the open quantum system framework to describe the real-time dynamics of quarkonium, with a focus on the gauge-invariant chromoelectric field correlators of the plasma that control the dynamics.
