Abstract: The advent of quantum hardware provides a new playground for many body physics. Nonlocal quantum games provide a new approach to diagnose and harness the correlations inherent in phases of matter, on quantum hardware. I will introduce the notion of many body quantum games, Then, I will introduce a class of quantum games that allow the robust identification and harnessing of topological order on quantum hardware. I will then change gears and discuss how this formalism may be used to illuminate a very old question: how to operationally quantify quantumness in the many body context.
