Abstract

Computational and theoretical developments in lattice QCD calculations of B and D mesons are surveyed. Several topical examples are given: new ideas for calculating the HQET parameters Λ and λ₁; form factors needed to determine |V_cb| and |V_ub|; bag parameters for the mass differences of the B mesons; and decay constants. Prospects for removing the quenched approximation are discussed.
