Heavy flavor hadrons have long been considered as a probe of the quark gluon plasma created in high energy nuclear collisions. In this paper we review the heavy flavor properties under extreme conditions and the realization in heavy ion experiments. After a short introduction on heavy flavor properties in vacuum, we emphasize the cold and hot nuclear matter effects on heavy flavors, including shadowing effect, Cronin effect and nuclear absorption for the former and Debye screening and regeneration for the latter. Then we discuss, in the frame of transport and coalescence models, these medium induced changes in open and closed heavy flavors in nuclear collisions and the comparison with nucleon-nucleon collisions. Considering the extremely strong electromagnetic and rotational fields generated in non-central nuclear collisions, which are widely studied in recent years, we finally investigate their effects on heavy flavor production and evolution in high energy nuclear collisions.

Heavy-quark transport across the QCD crossover driven by a lattice-constrained in-medium potential
A self-consistent heavy-quark transport model using a lattice-constrained potential with Yukawa and string contributions predicts 2πT Ds ≈ 0.5-1.7 near the QCD crossover, matching lattice QCD results.

Quantum decoherence: a study applied to quarkonium-like bound states in strongly interacting matter
A Lindblad master equation for a J/psi-like harmonic oscillator in an expanding QGP shows that hydrodynamic cooling slows quantum decoherence compared to a static bath, with viscosity having negligible impact.

Charmonium properties at high temperatures from lattice QCD
Lattice QCD calculations indicate charmonium states persist below the open-charm threshold up to 305 MeV but develop temperature-dependent thermal widths that increase with state size.
