Onset of the second quantum revolution is marked by proliferation of quantum technologies. Still mostly in the laboratory R&D phase, but likely to emerge soon as a growing sector of general consumer technology, quantum devices require constant supply of novel functional quantum materials. The current paradigm of meticulous long-term studies to understand fundamental properties in detail and be able to model them ab initio is unlikely to disappear; however, the rapid growth of technology may require modification of classical approach by accelerated discovery process aided by machine learning, data mining, and ability to model, synthesize and test novel materials quickly. In this presentation we will discuss opportunities and current developments in select classes of quantum materials, like low-dimensional materials, strongly correlated systems and topological insulators, and the role NSF plays in this rapidly growing area.
