Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum information theory is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field that deeply integrates information theory with quantum mechanics. Built upon core concepts such as qubits, quantum entanglement, and quantum measurement, it redefines the fundamental limits of information encoding, transmission, processing, and security. In recent years, quantum information theory has become the central theoretical pillar driving the quantum technology revolution.
The goal of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality submissions that advance both the fundamental understanding and practical applications of quantum information theory.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Quantum entanglement and correlations: measures, dynamics, and applications;
- Quantum algorithms, complexity, and computational models;
- Quantum error correction, fault-tolerant quantum computing, and noise models;
- Quantum communication: protocols, channel capacity, and network design;
- Quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution;
- Quantum information in many-body and open quantum systems;
- Machine learning and optimization in quantum information processing;
- Quantum walks: dynamics, topological properties, simulation, and applications in information processing;
- Hybrid quantum–classical information frameworks.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Axioms 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 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.
