Electronic structure of quantum materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

The physics of quantum materials is dictated by many-body interactions and mathematical concepts such as symmetry and topology that have transformed our understanding of matter. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which directly probes the electronic structure in momentum space, has played a central role in the discovery, characterization, and understanding of quantum materials ranging from strongly-correlated states of matter to those exhibiting non-trivial topology. Over the past two decades, ARPES as a technique has matured dramatically with ever-improving resolution and continued expansion into the space-, time-, and spin-domains. Simultaneously, the capability to synthesize new materials and apply non-thermal tuning parameters \emph{in-situ} has unlocked new dimensions in the study of all quantum materials. We review these developments, and survey the scientific contributions they have enabled in contemporary quantum materials research.
