Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum information has seen remarkable progress in the past few decades, with advancements spanning from theoretical breakthroughs to practical applications. It continues to push the boundaries of what is computationally and communicatively possible, with potential implications for secure communication, advanced computing, and fundamental physics.
Over the years, there have been significant experimental advancements. For instance, the demonstration of entangled photon pairs from semiconductor quantum dots and the realization of quantum teleportation have been scientific milestones. There have also been significant strides in long-distance quantum communication, with experiments demonstrating entanglement distribution over increasingly long distances through optical fibers and via satellite links. Meanwhile, theoretical work continues to advance the field, including studies on coherent errors and their potential to drive error-correcting codes into high-magic states, which could be a resource for universal quantum computing. By adding superconductivity to semiconductor spin qubits, long-range coupling can be enabled, which is a crucial step towards building more sophisticated quantum computers. In addition, quantum information principles are being applied to enhance precision measurement and sensing, with quantum metrology surpassing classical limits.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to reflect the important frontier research fields or the high-quality research in quantum information science and technology. We welcome contributions from academic institutions and industry to foster collaboration across disciplines. Prospective authors are invited to submit their review articles or original unpublished research papers. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Quantum metrology;
- Quantum communication;
- Quantum computing;
- Quantum information theory;
- Quantum control;
- Quantum teleportation;
- Quantum cryptography;
- Quantum algorithms;
- Quantum machine intelligence.

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. Electronics 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.
