Special Issue Information
Recent breakthroughs have proven the dynamics of quantum many-body systems to be a key factor that unifies quantum physics with quantum information. On the physics side, quantum dynamics helps define static and dynamic states of matter based on their temporal behavior over various timescales and provide a new window into quantum gravity through holographic mapping. Powerful measures rooted in physics principles that characterize quantum dynamics are von Neumann and Rényi entropies. On the information side, they reveal the ability of quantum systems and networks to respectively store and transport quantum information, and are characterized by information-theoretic measures of complexity and scrambling.
The goal of this Special Issue is to present the latest advances at the intersection of quantum physics and quantum information, with a focus on the dynamic behavior of quantum systems. Theoretical and experimental developments probing thermalization and chaos in quantum systems, many-body localization, quantum error correction, information propagation through unitary quantum networks, as well as information-theoretic implications of blackhole dynamics, are within the scope of this issue.

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.
