Quantum materials

Quantum materials are systems in which electrons behave in exotic ways, for example as relativistic particles such as Dirac or Weyl fermions, or by exhibiting original collective orders (noncollinear magnetism, ferroelectricity, superconductivity, charge and spin density waves, coexistence of several orders, etc.). The Quantum Materials theme group brings together experimentalists and theorists interested in understanding these materials, their modeling, growth and characterization. Research in this fast-growing field covers many aspects of condensed matter and interface physics, and offers exciting prospects for applications in advanced electronics.
