Optical, Physical, Chemical Characteristics and Functional Modulation of Novel Quantum Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The field of quantum materials encompasses a diverse range of materials that exhibit unique and often exotic quantum phenomena due to their specific electronic and structural properties, and these materials have the potential to revolutionize various technologies, including electronics, information processing, and energy harvesting.

In summary, the history of optical, physical, and chemical characteristics, and the functional modulation of novel quantum materials is deeply rooted in the evolution of quantum mechanics, semiconductor physics, and the ongoing quest to harness quantum phenomena for technological advancement. Ongoing research continues to unveil new possibilities and applications in this rapidly evolving field.

The primary goal of this Special Issue is to contribute to the knowledge and development of quantum materials by investigating their optical, physical, and chemical characteristics. Researchers aim to deepen their understanding of these materials at the quantum level and uncover new ways to modulate their functional properties, with the overarching aim being to facilitate advancements in technology and materials science through the innovative use of quantum phenomena.

This Special Issue encompasses a diverse set of topics including topological quantum materials, quantum dots and nanomaterials, 2D materials and heterostructures, quantum materials for quantum information processing, machine learning in quantum materials research, quantum sensing and metrology, and energy harvesting and storage.

We welcome submissions of review articles and original research articles on the theoretical study of quantum materials and innovation in applications and devices and the synthesis and characterization of materials.
