Abstract: We discuss the state-of-the-art research in the field of laser fusion aimed at obtaining a controlled thermonuclear reaction in a plasma with inertial confinement and the progress in high energy density physics achieved both directly in research on laser thermonuclear fusion and in related fields related to the high-power laser radiation–matter interaction.

Keywords: laser, thermonuclear fusion, extreme state of matter.
