Tracking how high energy jets of quarks travel through the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) can reveal information about the QGP’s properties. Recent theoretical calculations that include non-local quantum interactions in the QGP predict a super-diffusive process that deflects energetic particles faster than previously assumed. The discovery might help explain why the QGP flows like a nearly perfect liquid.
