Abstract Quantum effects on Rayleigh–Taylor instability of a stratified incompressible plasmas layer under the influence of vertical magnetic field are investigated. The solutions of the linearized equations of motion together with the boundary conditions lead to deriving the relation between square normalized growth rate and square normalized wave number in two algebraic equations and are numerically analyzed. In the case of the real solution of these two equations, they can be combined to generate a single equation. The results show that the presence of vertical magnetic field beside the quantum effect will bring about more stability on the growth rate of unstable configuration.
