Quantum materials are among the most promising building blocks for smart devices of the future. What makes these materials special is that they can be controlled on-demand by several external parameters, for instance by heating or cooling, through the use of an electrical current, or by applying mechanical pressure. The magnetic and electronic properties of these materials can often be controlled dynamically, leading to the development of crucial components such as memories and energy-harvesting devices.
