Abstract
We present calculations of the potential energy between an infinitely heavy
quark-antiquark pair at high temperatures and densities. The calculations are
carried out via lattice QCD in conjunction with a recently developed Bayesian
inference method. We provide a detailed overview lattice QCD, Bayesian infer-
ence methods and the potential energy itself. We conclude by considering some
suitable potential models put forth in the literature. At sufficiently high tem-
perature we observe the apparent onset of deconfinement, while at high densities
no such deconfinement is observed.
