Description
Measurements of $\Lambda_b$ decays at the Large Hadron Collider provide complementary constraints on important quantities in flavor physics, and can shed new light on "anomalies" observed in mesonic $b$ decays. In this talk, I will report on lattice QCD calculations of the form factors describing semileptonic and rare $\Lambda_b$ decays, and discuss the phenomenological implications. The topics covered include determinations of $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$, fits of $|\Delta B|=|\Delta S|=1$ Wilson coefficients, and tests of lepton flavor universality.
