Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum annealing by its nature is a very multidisciplinary subject, with connections to experimental quantum devices, condensed matter theory, computer science, fundamental quantum theory, and many other subjects. Perhaps the best indicator of the diversity of the field is that experts cannot even agree on how the term quantum annealing should be defined, with some using it to indicate dissipative and rapid quenches, while others reserve the term to refer to slow operations in the adiabatic limit. In this Special Issue, we are interested in exploring and celebrating the diversity of research which is related to the subject of quantum annealing (following all of the definitions used by experts).
This Special Issue covers original reviews and articles on experimental and theoretical works in the broad areas outlined above. Solutions and demonstrations based on novel design, characterization, and methods to further advance the field will be considered.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
