Jets have been pivotal in the advancement of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) since its inception, serving as a bridge between collider phenomenology and the formal language of field theory. Modern jet analysis empowers us to achieve significant breakthroughs in our understanding of QCD and enables direct comparisons with experimental data. In this talk, I will outline several key research areas within jet physics that deepen our understanding of QCD. These include deepening our understanding of heavy quark dynamics, investigating the effects of the medium, unraveling the hadronization process, precision determination of the strong coupling, and real time simulations on Hamiltonian lattice. I will highlight the application of these studies at current colliders like the LHC, RHIC, and EIC.
