Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to bring together recent advancements and innovations in the field of ion trap research, which has become an essential area of focus in quantum technologies, atomic physics, and chemistry. Ion traps serve as one of the most versatile and widely used tools for manipulating individual charged particles, enabling groundbreaking experiments in quantum information processing, precision metrology, and fundamental quantum mechanics.
The issue will feature original research papers, reviews, and cutting-edge theoretical and experimental studies on ion trapping, precision measurement, quantum control, quantum computing, cold collision and chemistry, and the exploration of new ion trap technologies. Special emphasis will be placed on the development of scalable ion trap systems, novel techniques in quantum state manipulation, and the application of ion traps in quantum simulations and precision measurements.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the critical role of ion trap research in pushing the boundaries of quantum science and technology, with contributions from leading researchers and experimentalists worldwide.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Atoms 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 1500 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.
