In current and future surveys , quasars play a key role .
The new data will extend our knowledge of the Universe as it will be used to better constrain the cosmological model at redshift z > 1 via baryon acoustic oscillation and redshift space distortion measurements .
Here , we present the first clustering study of quasars observed by the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey .
We measure the clustering of \sim 70 , 000 quasars located in the redshift range 0.9 < z < 2.2 that cover 1,168 deg ^ { 2 } .
We model the clustering and produce high-fidelity quasar mock catalogues based on the BigMultiDark Planck simulation .
Thus , we use a modified ( Sub ) Halo Abundance Matching model to account for the specificities of the halo population hosting quasars .
We find that quasars are hosted by halos with masses \sim 10 ^ { 12.7 } M _ { \odot } and their bias evolves from 1.54 ( z = 1.06 ) to 3.15 ( z = 1.98 ) .
Using the current eBOSS data , we can not distinguish between models with different fractions of satellites .
The high-fidelity mock light-cones , including properties of halos hosting quasars , are made publicly available .
