Oliver K. Baker, the D. Allan Bromley Physics Professor at Yale University, conducts research in experimental particle physics. His leadership role in the construction of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT), and use of machine learning were essential in the Higgs boson discovery. His current research in quantum entanglement, quantum computing, entanglement entropy, and searches for phenomena that are beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics uses Higgs production and decay. Baker earned a Ph.D. in Physics and an MS in Physics and Mathematics at Stanford University, and also a BS in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He was the 2006 US Presidential appointee to the board of the National Medal of Science.

This book is devoted to research topics in quantum entanglement at the energy frontier of particle and nuclear physics, and important interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues from fields outside of physics. A non-exhaustive list of examples of the latter can include mathematics, computer science, social sciences, philosophy, and how physics can interact with them in a way that supports successful outcomes. These are exciting times in the field of quantum information science, with new research results and their applications in society exhibiting themselves rather frequently. But what is even more exciting is that the frequency of these new results and their applications increases with a rapidity that will motivate new methods, new theories, new experiments, and new collaborations outside of the field that future researchers will find quite challenging.
