β¦ Synopsis
Experimental evidences at RHIC, for a strongly-interacting quark gluon plasma (sQGP), are reviewed. We discuss three related phenomena, elliptic flow, jet quenching and medium responses, that have provided much of the evidences. We examine current constraints on the transport properties of sQGP from these phenomena, point out their intrinsic connections and uncertainties, and outline future improvements on the study of the sQGP, particularly those using heavy flavor probes.

## Abstract A strongly coupled plasma of quark and gluon quasiparticles is studied by combination of Path integral Monte Carlo and quantum Wigner dynamics simulations. This method extends previous classical nonrelativistic simuβlations based on a color Coulomb interaction to the quantum regime. Fir
