Entanglement has recently emerged as an important conceptual tool in quantum many-body physics. I will explain why we care about entanglement in quantum matter and why we are interested in the physics of highly ntangled quantum states. I will also show how entanglement has led us to new phases of matter, new ways to characterize phases and phase transitions, novel numerical techniques, and useful conceptual advances. I will conclude with a discussion of the prospects for measuring entanglement in many-body systems.
