In low-dimensional quantum magnets, exotic magnetic phenomena can emerge due to strong spin fluctuations. Here we investigate quantum spin dynamics of the spin-1/2 chain compound Cu2(OH)3Br by high-resolution terahertz spectroscopy as a function of temperature and in high magnetic fields. Below a Néel temperature of TN = 9.3 K, this compound exhibits a unique magnetic structure consisting of alternating ferromagnetically and antiferromagnetically aligned chains of Cu2+ spins. In this ordered phase we observe magnetic excitations, which are characteristic for this unique spin structure and consistent with previous results of inelastic neutron scattering experiments. Crossing a field-induced quantum phase transition, we reveal different characteristics of spin dynamics for the high-field phase.
