Probing the QCD phase transition with fluctuations and correlations

Modifications in magnitude of fluctuations for different observables are an excellent probe of a phase transition or its remnant. In particular, fluctuations related to conserved charges carried by light and strange quarks play an important role to identify the QCD chiral crossover and deconfinement properties. We give a brief overview of hot/⁠dense QCD and the phase structure.
