Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The revolutionary field of Quantum Precision Measurement leverages the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, entanglement, and interference, to fundamentally enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of measuring physical quantities, often pushing beyond the limits of classical methods. Quantum devices are poised to be one of the most disruptive technologies of our time, exploiting these phenomena to perform beyond the capabilities of their classical counterparts in applications such as computing, sensing, and communication.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a vital forum for showcasing new and improved technologies that advance the state-of-the-art in quantum metrology. We encourage submissions that explore both the foundations and the practical applications of quantum-enhanced measurements across various platforms. Topics include the study of quantum many-body systems and emergent features like topological order and quantum criticality, which can be harnessed for building highly robust and sensitive quantum sensors. Additionally, the emerging area of non-Hermitian sensing offers new avenues for ultra-sensitive measurements by utilizing concepts like exceptional points, which can dramatically enhance the response of a sensor to external perturbations. We especially welcome research on using new computer technology and artificial intelligence methods to explore new frontiers in quantum precision sensing and metrology, including the application of powerful theoretical frameworks such as tensor network techniques and machine learning algorithms to deepen our understanding of quantum systems. By bringing together original research and review articles, we seek to solidify and advance the maturity of this field, fostering the innovations that will drive scientific breakthroughs and technological advancements.

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.
