The Joan Van der Waals colloquium is an ongoing bi-weekly lecture series at the physics department of Leiden University. This edition is dedicated to World Quantum Day! After the lecture, there will be drinks.

In this talk, we will discuss what it means for something to be a resource. We will focus on the case of non-classical phenomena serving as resources, and pay special attention to those aspects that may be relevant for boosting our performance at communication and information-processing tasks. We will also identify important details that are relevant for studying conversions of resources and the quantification of their resourcefulness. This presentation is meant to provide a broad picture on the type of foundational research connected to quantum resources, and give you a platform from which to further pursue your own interests.
