Entanglement represents, according to Schrödinger, the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics. For several years these quantum correlations were at the basis of the debate about the foundations of quantum mechanics, a research that culminated in conclusive tests of Bell inequalities last year. Nevertheless, these peculiar properties of quantum mechanics also became a fundamental resource for the development of quantum technologies (as quantum communication, computation and imaging).
In this talk I will narrate this fascinating history, presenting the most recent results in these fields.
