The course will focus on the definition, quantification and experimental detection of Entanglement, one of the most intriguing features of quantum systems. The students will learn its rigorous mathematical characterization, explore its implications for theoretical and experimental investigations of quantum systems, and grasp its significance for developing quantum technologies. The “fundamental trait of quantum mechanics” will be exorcised by discussing and clarifying famous paradoxes (e.g., EPR measurement schemes), leading the students to understand current research challenges, such as achieving a full-fledged description of many-body quantum correlations. The notes for the course will be built from standard references.

It is preferrable to have previously attended a Quantum Mechanics course, but it is not strictly necessary.

Postulates of Quantum Mechanics; Classification of quantum states: separable and entangled states; Theoretical quantification of Entanglement: Bell inequalities violation, witnesses, and monotones; Experimental detection of Entanglement: observable estimators, measurement schemes, and their implementations; Entanglement as a computational resource: teleportation and Entanglement-powered speed up.
