QCD at Finite Density

At sufficiently high temperature and density, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts phase transition from the hadronic phase to the quark-gluon plasma phase. Lattice QCD is the most useful tool to investigate this critical phenomenon, which status is briefly reviewed. The usual problem in the Lagrangian formulation at finite density is either an incorrect continuum limit or its complex action and a premature onset of the transition as the chemical potential is raised. We show how the difficulties are overcome in our Hamiltonian approach.
