Ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions taking place at the LHC produce a new state of ultra hot matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which permeated our Universe during the first microsecond after the Big Bang. One of the most striking discoveries on the properties of this system consists in its nearly perfect fluidity, characteristic of strongly coupled systems. Understanding the emergence of a liquid QGP at large length scales starting from individual, quasi-free quarks and gluons at short length scales still remains a major fundamental problem in QCD. High-energy jets, collimated sprays of quanta produced within the collision itself, serve as excellent multi-scale probes with which to explore the inner workings of the QGP for a wide range of length scales. In this talk, I will review the current state of the field and highlight some recent developments in our understanding of how jets interact with the flowing QGP they traverse before reaching our detectors.
