Abstract: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 celebrates pioneering experiments that confirmed the quantum character of Nature. In particular, Entanglement emerges as the distinctive trait of quantum systems. Now, one of the biggest challenges in modern science is developing a full stack of Entanglement-based quantum technologies.
In this talk, I outline strategies to tackle critical problems related to information storage in quantum networks, diagnostics of quantum hardware, and quantum programming, whose solutions require multidisciplinary ingenuity and expertise. Specifically, I discuss how new ways to identify, quantify and manipulate Entanglement in many-body systems will accelerate the transition of quantum information machines from textbooks to reality.
