In this poster I will review how cold neutrons can be used to detect the phonons, magnons and magnetic structure of quantum materials. As an example I will present measurements of the phonon bandstructure in graphene and Bi2Te3. I will discuss the upcoming upgrade to the ANSTO cold neutron source scheduled for 2024.
