Applied Mathematics in Quantum Computing, Solid-State Physics and Quantum Optics

Dear Colleagues,

During the last decades, theoretical and experimental efforts have been made in the field of quantum computing research by using the fundamental properties of low dimensional solid-state structures and quantum optics. Numerical algorithms and the mathematical investigation of the possible quantum computing structures are the focal points of quantum information in worldwide research.

In this Special Issue, the main principles of quantum computing are addressed by means of both mathematically rigorous formalism and numerical algorithms. Quantum effects, e.g., decoherence, dephasing, fidelity and collective excitations in solids, as well as quantum structures, e.g., quantum gates/quantum bits (qbits) and quantum computing algorithms, are among the topics included in this Issue. 

We welcome submissions from outstanding scholars, including but not limited to related research fields.

Dr. Vasilios N. Stavrou

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
