Quantum Foundations: 90 Years of Uncertainty

Dear Colleagues,

Since its origins, quantum theory posed deep questions with regard to the fundamental problems of physics. During the last few decades, the advent of quantum information theory and the possibility of developing quantum computers, gave rise to a renewed interest in foundational issues. Research in the foundations of quantum mechanics was particularly influenced by the development of novel laboratory techniques, allowing for the experimental verification of the most debated aspects of the quantum formalism.

The VII Conference on Quantum Foundations (https://sites.google.com/site/viijornadasfundamentoscuantica/), to be held 29 November to 1 December, 2017, at the Facultad de Matemática, Astronomía, Física y Computación, Córdoba, Argentina, aims to gather experts in the field to promote academic debate on the foundational problems of quantum theory. This Special Issue captures the main aspects of this debate by incorporating a selected list of contributions presented at the conference. Researchers not attending the conference are also welcome to present their original and recent developments, as well as review papers, on the topics listed below. All contributions will be peer-reviewed.

Topics of the Special Issue:

• Quantum Information Science
• Quantum Statistical Mechanics
• Information Measures in Quantum Theory
• Quantum Correlations
• Uncertainty relations
• Geometrical Methods Applied to Quantum Theory
• Violation of Bell Inequalities
• Quantum Probabilities
• Decoherence and Classical Limit
• Quantum Computing
• Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
• Quantum Contextuality
• Quantum Indistinguishability
• Quantum Logic
• Algebraic Methods in Quantum Theory
• Hidden Variable Theories
• Non-linear Methods Applied to Quantum Theory
• Foundations of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

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. 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.
