  In the deconfinement phase of QCD quarks and gluons interact with the dense
stochastic colour-magnetic vacuum. We consider the dynamics of quarks in this
deconfinement phase using the Field Correlators Method and derive an effective
nonperturbative inter-quark potential, in addition to the usual perturbative
short-ranged interaction. We find the resulting angular-momentum-dependent
interaction to be attractive enough to maintain bound states and, for light
quarks (and gluons), to cause emission of quark and gluon pairs. Possible
consequences for the strong interacting quark--gluon plasma are briefly
discussed.
