I discuss D0-brane quantum mechanics as a nonperturbative formulation of string theory, in particular the relation between the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind matrix model, the Maldacena conjecture for D0-branes, and type IIA/M-theory duality. Some features of the quantum mechanics of D0-branes are also discussed. Lecture presented at the Nishinomiya-Yukawa Memorial Symposium, Nov. 1998.

    Instanton condensation in the matrix model for the BPS index reveals a new instability and dominant phase for small black holes, connected to partial deconfinement.
