Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
Original Submission Date Received: .
The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, a field that has completely changed the way we understand the universe. Aligned with the UNESCO 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we have launched a landing page including a curated collection of articles to showcase a century of transformative advancements in quantum science and technology. We will also be organizing a series of webinars and workshops, featuring invited experts who will explore key topics and emerging trends, offering valuable insights into the quantum research field.
We invite you to explore our dedicated landing page, which features a collection of content highlighting this historic occasion. In collaboration with our related journals, stay tuned for upcoming events celebrating quantum breakthroughs, and explore Special Issues and topics open for manuscript submissions. Discover Special Issue Books highlighting the latest advancements in the field, along with research highlights that demonstrate the ongoing impact of quantum science. You will also find an overview of the history and evolution of quantum mechanics over the past century.
Open access drives progress by making knowledge freely available to all. We are proud to amplify quantum research and strengthen connections across the global scientific community as we move into the next era of discovery.
