Description
Hard probes are produced at early stages of heavy ion collisions and carry with them information about the medium they traverse before being detected. Some of them are elementary, but some, like quarkonia are complex. In this talk I shall argue that it is interesting to consider such complex hard probes from the point of view of open quantum systems. I shall in particular establish interesting connection between the propagation of heavy quarkonia in a quark-gluon plasma and some aspects of jet physics.
