Abstract

This is a report on some new results concerning entanglement. Entanglement is not envisioned here only as an algebraic property for the state of a compound system, but also as a topological property when one subsystem, acting as a “measuring” device, is macroscopic. These topological properties have also their own dynamics and show a local behavior in the generation, growth and transport of entanglement, which can be described mathematically in some detail.
