• Abstract: Quantum technologies are enjoying an unprecedented popularity, and some applications are already in the market. This thesis studies two phenomena that are behind a lot of quantum technologies: entanglement and nonlocality. We focus on multipartite systems, and ask what configurations of those systems are more useful than others. 'Usefulness' takes on different meanings depending on the context, but, roughly speaking, we aim for more entanglement or more nonlocality. Chapter 2 develops a resource theory of entanglement with a unique multipartite maximally entangled state. Chapter 3 shows that any connected network of bipartite pure entangled states is genuine multipartite nonlocal (GMNL). Chapter 4 shows that, unlike in the case of pure states, topology is crucial to determine whether networks of bipartite mixed entangled states are genuine multipartite entangled. We also obtain, to our knowledge, the first example of superactivation of GMNL. In a departure from the main ideas explored in previous chapters, Chapter 5 is devoted to developing a physical principle inspired by a seminal result in epistemics. We contend that the principle must hold for any theory of Nature and intend for it to rule out post-quantum theories which are consistent with experimentally observed results.

  We first establish a strong link between no-signaling principle and classical processes in tripartite classical systems. We describe a logically consistent 4-partite classical process acting as an extension of the quantum switch. We also provide a device-independent certification of its quantum variant in the form of an inequality.

  Bound entanglement is a special form of quantum entanglement that cannot be used for distillation. We focus on systems of finite dimensions, an area of high relevance for many quantum information processing tasks. The article illuminates areas where our understanding of bound entangled states, particularly their detection and characterization, is yet to be fully developed.

  Bell's theorem proves that some quantum state correlations can only be explained by bipartite non-classical resources. Nonclassical resources involving more than two parties in a nontrivial way may be needed to account for some quantum correlations. We show that cluster states do not have this third property, while GHZ states do.

• Introduction to quantum entanglement in many-body systems [0.0]
  The purpose of this chapter is to give a pedagogical introduction to the topic with a special emphasis on the multipartite scenario. We start by providing the necessary mathematical tools and elementary concepts from entanglement theory. Then, we focus on various entanglement structures useful in condensed-matter theory such as tensor-network states or symmetric states useful for quantum-enhanced sensing.

  We extend the resource theory of entanglement for multipartite systems beyond the standard framework of local operations and classical communication. We demonstrate that in this adjusted framework, the transformation rates between multipartite states are fundamentally dictated by the bipartite entanglement entropies of the respective quantum states.

• Asymptotic survival of genuine multipartite entanglement in noisy quantum networks depends on the topology [0.5156484100374058]
  We show that genuine multipartite entanglement in a PEN state depends on both the level of noise and the network topology. Our main result is a markedly drastic feature of this phenomenon. To illustrate the applicability of PEN states to study the complex phenomenology behind multipartite entanglement, we also use them to prove superactivation of genuine multipartite nonlocality for any number of parties.

  Bell's theorem proves that quantum theory is inconsistent with local physical models.

This review discusses the main concepts, methods, results and future challenges in the emerging topic of Bell nonlocality in networks.

  We argue that a source capable of distributing bipartite entanglement can, by itself, generate genuine $k$-partite entangled states for any $k$. We provide analytic and numerical witnesses of genuine network entanglement, and we reinterpret many past quantum experiments as demonstrations of this feature.
