The behaviour of a heavy quark within a hot QCD plasma is characterized
by its kinetic and chemical equilibration rates, whereas the properties
of a quark-antiquark pair are encoded in spectral functions related to
various composite operators. We discuss the physics motivation, recent
lattice studies, and outstanding challenges related to these observables.
