Abstract:
There is great activity at present all over the world towards developing quantum technologies. But what is
the basic physics that drives this activity? Why are we searching for novel quantum materials, and building
noise-free quantum computers? Where does my research fit in with all of this? In presenting some answers,
I will focus on how the concept of entanglement - a feature that is unique to the quantum world - of an
interacting many-particle quantum system holds the key to next-generation quantum technologies. I will
also offer some insights on results we have obtained recently on the entanglement encoded within a few different examples of strongly interacting quantum matter.
