Quantum Information, Computation and Cryptography

Dear Colleagues,

The second quantum revolution was founded on fundamental research at the intersection of physics and information science, giving rise to the field we today refer to as quantum information science.  In the past few decades, tremendous advances have been made in practical quantum information technologies, including quantum cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum metrology. It seems that we will soon enter the era of scientific and technological applications of quantum technology.

This Special Issue will focus on quantum information science, especially quantum communication and quantum computing. It will aim to provide the up-to-date findings in theories and experiments of quantum information science for a broad range of readers.

Topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Quantum algorithms;
• Quantum computing;
• Quantum error correcting codes;
• Quantum communication;
• Quantum Shannon theory;
• Quantum complexity theory;
• Quantum networks;
• Quantum cryptography;
• Quantum information processing;
• Quantum metrology and sensing;
• Quantum programing;
• Quantum machine learning;
• Blind quantum computing;
• Tensor network states;
• Quantum simulations;
• Quantum foundations;
• Quantum optics
• Geometric quantum computation

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.
