AB - In this paper, a non-linear (3+1)-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation is  investigated by employing the subsidiary equation method, which arises in  quantum magneto plasma. The periodic solutions, rational wave solutions,  soliton solutions for the quantum Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation which play an  important role in mathematical physics are obtained with the help of the  Riccati equation expan­sion method. Meanwhile, the electrostatic potential  can be accordingly obtained. Compared to the other methods, the exact  solutions obtained will extend on earlier reports by using the Riccati  equation.
