Quantum magnetism, the study of spin systems where quantum mechanical effects play an important role, has been a fascinating and fruitful field of condensed matter physics in the last several decades. Insights borrowed from studying quantum spin systems found numerous applications in a vast variety of other research areas, such as the theory of quantum phase transitions, the study of correlated electron materials, and of systems of ultra-cold atoms. Much of the thinking of scientists in the field of correlated electron systems is based on the language developed to handle quantum magnetism.
