Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to introduce the reader to various aspects of quantum entanglement. A detailed summary of the jargon of important mathematical notions, and concepts used in entanglement theory is provided. Various methods of entanglement generation are discussed followed by an introduction to the methods of detection and quantification of quantum entanglement in terms of various witnesses and measures. A brief account of some well-known applications of quantum entanglement is presented. Finally, a set of problems with solutions is provided, illustrating various important concepts discussed in the chapter.
