Quantum materials are rapidly advancing but still present great challenges. Topological quantum
materials in particular are receiving great attention as they provide potentially robust routes to
quantum information processing that are protected against decoherence processes. Among key
challenges are the prediction and realization of magnetic materials in the form of magnetic Weyl
semimetals and quantum spin liquids as ways of realizing exotic quasiparticles such as Majorana fermions
that can be used for application. These materials present new experimental challenges in terms of identifying their
quasiparticles and demonstrating quantum coherence in their ground states states. Here I will
show how we are using the integrated application of machine learning along with experiment and synthesis
to advance the discovery and understanding of these materials.
