The Nanoengineered Superconductors and Quantum Materials (SuperQMat) group is part of the Superconducting Materials and Functional Nanoengineered Structures Unit at ICMAB-CSIC. Our research explores the fundamental physics and technological potential of advanced quantum and functional materials, with a particular focus on strongly correlated oxides, high-temperature superconductors, magnetic materials, engineered nanostructures, hybrid heterostructures, and metamaterials. By combining condensed-matter physics, materials science, and nanoscale engineering, we aim to uncover the mechanisms that govern emergent quantum phenomena and functional responses in complex materials. Our goal is not only to deepen fundamental understanding but also to translate these discoveries into innovative concepts and device functionalities for future technologies.

We investigate how electronic, magnetic, transport, and optical properties can be controlled through the design of tailored nanostructures, engineered defect landscapes, and interface-driven architectures. Current research activities include tuning superconducting and magnetic states through nanoscale engineering, exploring quantum phase transitions in strongly correlated systems, and developing hybrid platforms based on high-temperature superconductors for next-generation electronic, spintronic, and fluxonic devices. Through these efforts, SuperQMat contributes to the development of sustainable and energy-efficient materials and technologies for future information and communication systems. At the same time, our research expands the frontiers of quantum materials science, providing new insights into the behavior of matter under extreme and emergent quantum conditions.
