Idea

In solid state physics, by a quantum material one means – broadly and somewhat vaguely – a phase of matter whose properties are deeply controlled by quantum physics and often by topology, for instance in that their quantum ground state exhibits long-range entanglement. Prime examples are superconductors and, more recently and more prominently, topological phases of matter possibly controlled by topological order, such as topological insulators; also quasicrystals. A concrete example is graphene.
