Popis: Quantum phenomena, including entanglement, superposition, tunneling, and spin–orbit interactions, among others, are foundational to the development of recent innovations in quantum computing, teleportation, encryption, sensing, and new modalities of electronics, such as spintronics, spin-orbitronics, caloritronics, magnonics, twistronics, and valleytronics. These emerging technologies provide disruptive influences to global commercial markets. These remarkable advances in quantum technologies are nearly always enabled by the discovery of materials and their quantum behaviors. Such advances are governed by quantum principles that are strongly influenced by environmental, physical, topological, and morphological conditions such as very small length scales, short time durations, ultrahigh pressures, ultralow temperatures, etc., which lead to quantum behaviors that manifest as quantum tunneling, entanglement, superpositioning, superfluidity, low-dimensional, high-temperature and high-pressure superconductivity, quantum fluctuations, Bose–Einstein condensates, topological effects, and other phenomena that are not yet fully understood nor adequately explored. Here, we provide a review of quantum materials developed up to 2023. Remarkable advances in quantum materials occur daily, and therefore, by the time of publication, new and exciting breakthroughs will have occurred that are regrettably not covered herein.
