Quantum correlations such as entanglement are not only a prerequisite for performing any meaningful task in quantum information processing but lie at the very heart of foundational quantum physics. The tasks of preserving and characterizing these correlations are rendered particularly challenging in the presence of noise, which dominates the current NISQ-era platforms. This challenge is triggering new approaches such as quantum reservoir engineering that employs controlled dissipation to act on a quantum system, such that the resultant dynamics naturally relax the system to an entangled state (or subspace) of interest. I will first describe how implementing a new generation of reservoir engineering protocols based on modular dissipation can realize deterministic scalable entanglement generation. Next, I will outline our recent progress towards characterizing complex correlations in multi-mode open and time-dependent systems.
