In this book chapter, we introduce different schemes to create quantum states of matter in engineered graphene nanoribbons. We will focus on the emergence of controllable magnetic interactions, topological quantum magnets, and the interplay of magnetism and superconductivity. We comment on the experimental signatures of those states stemming from their electronic and spin excitations, that can be observed with atomic resolution using scanning probe techniques.
