Abstract

Quantum entanglement is a captivating phenomenon in quantum physics, characterized by intricate and non-classical correlations between particles. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in quantum computing and measurement processes. In this hands-on course students explore the dynamics of quantum systems with up to three spins, introducing the fundamental mechanisms by which entanglement evolves and transfers within such systems. Through detailed examples, simulations, and analyses, the hands-on course offers insights into the fundamental principles of entanglement. The provided \code{python} modules reproduce the presented results and serve as a basis for further projects. The target audience of this hands-on course is physics enthusiasts among students in their first semesters.
