Heavy-Ion Physics in a Nutshell

The physics of quark gluon plasma (QGP) and heavy ion collisions at the collider energies is briefly reviewed. We first discuss about the discovery of a nearly perfect fluidity of the QGP. We also highlights recent topics on responses of the QGP to initial deformation and propagation of a jet.
