Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on Quantum Dynamics in Hybrid Systems. This Special Issue is dedicated to theoretical/computational contributions addressing the quantum dynamics of hybrid systems, particularly those involving interactions between distinct domains, such as:
- Quantum–Classical Systems: Models for understanding the interplay between quantum and classical subsystems, focusing on decoherence, the quantum-to-classical transition, and the emergence of classical behavior from quantum systems.
- Electronic–Vibrational Interactions: Studies of coupled electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom, particularly in vibronic coupling, nonadiabatic dynamics, and charge and energy transport.
- Light–Matter Interactions: Exploration of strong coupling between light fields and matter, including spectroscopy, quantum optics, cavity physics and chemistry, ultra-cold quantum gases, and other photonic systems.
- Other Hybrid Systems: Investigating useful models for hybrid systems such as the spin-boson model and other quantum interactions that bridge different physical domains and multi-species systems.
- Multiconfigurational methodologies: Multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) and multilayer MCTDH and their variants for indistinguishable particles, coupled cluster (CC) methods, etc.
We welcome submissions of original theoretical and computational research articles, mathematical models, and review papers exploring hybrid systems' quantum dynamics, providing new insights and models that can guide experimental progress in these and other related areas.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. 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.
