Quantum materials

Quantum technology is set to revolutionise the world of information technology. New electronic states of matter involving the nanoscale magnets of electron spins will be at the heart of new solutions for data storage, data transmission and quantum computers. Quantum materials are also smart materials for new devices which combine electronic and magnetic properties and include superconductors, as the quest for high-temperature superconductivity continues. T

he neutron, with its spin and magnetic moment, is an exquisite probe of quantum materials, an area which represents about 30% of the research conducted at the ILL.
