Funded Activity Summary

Quantum entanglement and its role in complex quantum systems. Quantum entanglement - non-classical correlations in quantum states - is the physical resource at the heart of modern applications of quantum technology, such as absolutely secure communication, and teleportation of quantum states from one location to another. This project aims to deepen our theoretical understanding of entanglement by characterizing the type and amount of entanglement present in the ground and thermal states of a general physical system. These results will enable us to study the central role entanglement plays in quantum phase transitions - the change of a physical system from one state of matter to another, different, state of matter, one with a truly quantum character.
