Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum optics and quantum information research are interdisciplinary fields that explore the intersection of quantum mechanics with the behavior of light and its potential applications in computing and communication technologies. Phenomena such as entanglement, superposition, and quantum coherence in light–matter interactions are frequently studied using photons as carriers of quantum information. This research has led to the development of advanced technologies such as quantum cryptography, quantum sensors, and quantum imaging. Quantum information focuses on how quantum systems can be used to process and store information in ways that classical systems cannot, such as in quantum computing, where qubits allow for exponentially faster problem-solving. Together, these fields aim to harness the unique properties of quantum systems to revolutionize communication security, computation, and fundamental understanding of quantum mechanics.
In this Special Issue, we will be happy to consider original research articles, perspectives and reviews. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide insights into the current activities related to the unique properties of quantum systems including but not limited to quantum entanglement, quantum imaging, quantum communications or any fundamental progress made in the quantum optics field.

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.
