Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few years, a growing interest has been expressed in entropic and informational aspects of quantum systems. In particular, we know that quantum entropy is an important index for nonlocal correlations and entanglement. Relaxation, dissipation, noise, and fluctuations in quantum open systems and in quantum field theory are concepts that run through all of physics, from elementary particles to cosmology. An area of extraordinary interest is the connection between entropy and gravity, which emerged with the study of black holes and was subsequently developed in the direction of emergent gravity. It is in this field that the most significant clues in the direction of quantum gravity have accumulated. The third volume of Entropy in Quantum Systems and Quantum Field Theory is dedicated to this field of research. This Special Issue of Entropy is an invitation to scholars to deepen the theory and the applications of this important area of research.

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.
