Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum information and photonics are rapidly advancing fields at the intersection of mathematics, physics, and engineering. Theoretical models and mathematical frameworks are crucial in understanding and designing quantum systems, from quantum communication protocols to photonic implementations of quantum computing. This Special Issue of AppliedMath, titled "Mathematical Structures in Quantum Information and Photonics: From Foundations to Applications", aims to bring together contributions that explore the mathematical foundations of quantum technologies and their practical implementations.
We invite submissions that address fundamental models, novel mathematical frameworks, and applied results related to quantum information theory, quantum optics, entanglement, quantum computing, and network design. Both theoretical and interdisciplinary studies are welcome, including works that link mathematics to experimental and engineering applications in quantum photonics.
Dr. Artur Czerwinski

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. AppliedMath is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
