The Functional Quantum Crystals (QCrystal) group was established in 2021 at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. With an interdisciplinary research team at the institute and through partnerships with global collaborators, the group investigates the physics and functionalities of quantum materials, specifically correlated, superconducting, and topological quantum crystals.

The goal of the Functional Quantum Crystals group is to substantially improve the understanding of distinct quantum electronic and magnetic phases of matter, leading to novel functionalities and enhanced properties. Research in the QCrystal group focuses on state-of-the-art characterization of spin wave function in quantum crystals and prototype devices.
