Focused primarily on fundamental research, ICQM also drives innovation in areas such as quantum computing, quantum sensing, topological materials, and strongly correlated electron systems. We explore new applications of Quantum Intelligent Materials in fields like quantum information technology, quantum cryptography, advanced quantum sensing, and next-generation superconductors.

ICQM will establish core expertise and cutting-edge facilities for the advancement of quantum materials research, accelerating discoveries in quantum science both in Korea and globally.

The goal of ICQM is to develop new approaches in science that enable us to understand and manipulate quantum materials beyond equilibrium conditions. This will lead to the discovery and design of Quantum Intelligent Materials—materials that exhibit novel quantum properties and can dynamically adapt their electronic, magnetic, and structural characteristics in response to external stimuli.
