Abstract
A strongly coupled plasma of quark and gluon quasiparticles at temperatures from 1.1__T~c~__ to 3__T~c~__ is studied by path integral Monte Carlo simulations. This method extends previous classical nonrelativistic simulations based on a color Coulomb interaction to the quantum regime. We present the equation of state and find good agreement with lattice results. Further, pair distribution functions and color correlation functions are computed indicating strong correlations and liquid‐like behavior (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
