"Multiqubit Entanglement Generation and Distribution for Quantum Networks and Quantum Computing"

This lecture will focus on the entanglement, the key resource for novel quantum technologies. I will discuss how entanglement is distributed in quantum networks and leveraged in one-way (measurement-based) models of quantum computing. I will present entanglement generation and distribution protocols in physical systems and highlight relevant experiments.
