I summarize the recent advances in jet tomographic studies of cold and hot nuclear matter based on perturbative QCD calculations of medium-induced gluon bremsstrahlung. Quantitative applications to ultrarelativistic heavy-ion reactions at RHIC indicate the creation of a deconfined state of QCD with initial energy density of the order of 100 times cold nuclear matter density.
