Significance The experimental detection and theoretical characterization of entanglement in many-body systems is a mostly unsolved problem. Here we relate entanglement to the statistical speed measuring how quickly nearby states become distinguishable under the action of an arbitrary many-body Hamiltonian. The method is remarkably simple: We witness multipartite entanglement, just elaborating on published experimental data with ions and photons. The unveiled connection between the statistical speed and entanglement provides a unifying framework that can shed new light on quantum information science and quantum critical phenomena. Quantum mechanics predicts the existence of correlations between composite systems that, although puzzling to our physical intuition, enable technologies not accessible in a classical world. Notwithstanding, there is still no efficient general method to theoretically quantify and experimentally detect entanglement of many qubits. Here we propose to detect entanglement by measuring the statistical response of a quantum system to an arbitrary nonlocal parametric evolution. We witness entanglement without relying on the tomographic reconstruction of the quantum state, or the realization of witness operators. The protocol requires two collective settings for any number of parties and is robust against noise and decoherence occurring after the implementation of the parametric transformation. To illustrate its user friendliness we demonstrate multipartite entanglement in different experiments with ions and photons by analyzing published data on fidelity visibilities and variances of collective observables.
