Quantum matter refers to materials and systems that exhibit quantum mechanical behavior at the macroscopic scale. This includes phenomena such as superconductivity, magnetism, and topological order. Quantum matter research is driven by the desire to understand and control these exotic states of matter, with potential applications in quantum computing, energy storage, and advanced materials. Some of the key topics in quantum matter research include strongly correlated electron systems, topological insulators, and quantum phase transitions.
