Quantum Thermodynamics in Action

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum platforms have developed over the past years incredibly quickly, thanks to the intensive efforts towards quantum information processing, sensing, and related fields. This progress provides a basis for the investigation of quantum thermodynamics both conceptually and via concrete experiments. Novel ways to control thermal properties and currents in quantum systems are needed, either by active means (thermal machines) or via passive routes optimizing thermal transport. An important aspect of quantum technology is to develop systems that can be considered as isolated but at the same time controllable by external signals. “Quantum Thermodynamics in Action” would mean taking into account and benefiting from the technological development and present ideas and experiments in this vigorous research area. Articles are welcomed from both theoretical and experimental communities working on different platforms of quantum technology, including superconducting circuits, quantum dot devices, NMR systems, trapped ions, ultracold atoms, and NV centers.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy 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 2600 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.
