Description
We present a lattice QCD determination of the equation of state of strongly interacting matter at finite baryon density using $(2+1)$-flavor simulations. The pressure, energy density, entropy density, and related bulk observables are obtained through a Taylor expansion in the baryon chemical potential around $\mu_B=0$. We further discuss material properties of QCD matter, including response coefficients relevant for the hydrodynamic description of heavy-ion collisions. These results provide first-principles input for characterizing the thermodynamics of dense QCD matter in the temperature range relevant to the QCD crossover.
