Quantum entanglement is a special type of correlation that can exist between two or more particles at the quantum/atomic level. When two particles share an entangled state, measuring a characteristic of one particle instantaneously decides the other particles’ corresponding characteristic irrespective of the physical distance between the particles. In this talk, we study the entanglement in many-particle systems and show how quantum structure becomes richer with larger numbers of particles. To this end, we first recap the two-particle entanglement which we presented during last year’s URF, and then, as a new aspect of the problem, we focus on the many-particle or multipartite entanglement between three and five particles. A better understanding of entanglement will allow us to manipulate entanglement thus improving the development of applications such as quantum computing significantly. The study of many-body quantum entanglement also promises to have profound implications on our understanding of complex many-body systems such as superconductors and their intricacies where a full theoretical description is still lacking.
