Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Axioms is an attempt to capture the broad spectrum of scientific endeavors of Professor Elio Conte on the occasion of his seventieth birthday.
Elio Conte was born in Italy on February 24, 1946, and obtained his graduate degree in Theoretical Physics in 1969. He held the position of professor at the University of Bari, Italy, from 1972 until 2015, teaching Nuclear and Radiation Physics, Applications of the Methods of the Theoretical Physics in Biology and Medicine. His distinguished activity as scientist covered the fields of the foundations of quantum mechanics, Clifford algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics, quantum cognition, and applications of quantum mechanics at a perceptive and cognitive level. He is one of the founding fathers of the field presently known as quantum cognition. By using Clifford algebra, he has given, for the first time, a demonstration of the von Neumann postulates of quantum mechanics measurements and exploring quantum interference at a perceptive and cognitive level, which has given the basic foundations of the discipline of quantum cognition, which is currently covering a large field of interest among scholars and researchers. These are, of course, some fields of application in which Prof. Conte continues to be active in, with constant scientific production. He has also developed a constant and active application in the field of the mathematical foundations of the non linear methodologies, chaos and fractal theories, with a direct interest in biology and medicine He has published over 200 research papers and more than 15 books on the aforementioned fields. He is member of Editorial Boards of journals such as Clifford Analysis, Clifford Algebras and their Applications (CACAA), Chaos and Complexity Letters, and Axioms, and referee of a number of peer-reviewed international journals
This Special Issue aims to bring together a variety of topics relating to original contributions on the advent of quantum mechanics and also under the historical profile and in about the hundred years of advances in this theory. Contributions are particularly encouraged to be submitted in the field of the mathematical developments of quantum theory, with a particular emphasis for Clifford elaborations of quantum mechanics. Manuscripts relating to the possible role of quantum mechanics in explaining basic perceptive, cognitive and, generally speaking, mind processes are firmly expected. Extensions of quantum information theory and quantum computing are also admitted. Contributions are also expected on the analysis of non-linear systems and the possible link between chaos, Random Matrix Theory and quantum mechanics.

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. Axioms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
