Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past few years, the field of quantum optics has expanded from its original domain, covering basic photon(ic) and atom(ic) systems, into many-body physics. Theory and experiments have progressed to the point where the traditional boundaries between the different areas have become fuzzy.
This area of research is instrumental for developing modern technologies, like lasers and atomic clocks, as well as emerging innovations, such quantum computers and secure quantum communications.
In this Special Issue we intend to present an up-to-date collection of papers dealing with the latest developments in the fundamental aspects of quantum optics.
Topics include (but are not restricted to):
- non-classical and multi-mode states
- quantum correlations
- quantum tomography
- quantum communication
- quantum metrology
- open quantum systems
- quantum atoms with atoms, ions, molecules
- cavity and circuit QED
- optomechanical systems

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
