Lattice QCD and heavy quarks

Abstract

Some interesting heavy-flavor questions are mentioned that may yield to the methods of lattice QCD. Special emphasis is placed on topics which arise in the discussion of CP violation in $B$ decays. Other subjects include quarkonium and light-quark systems and some potential applications outside QCD.
