Entropy in Quantum Systems and Quantum Field Theory (QFT)

This special issue belongs to the section “Quantum Information“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In these last few years, a growing interest has been expressed for entropic and informational aspects of quantum systems. In particular, we know that the quantum entropy is an important index for non-local 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. This Special Issue of Entropy is an invitation to scholars at deepening the theory and the applications of this important area of research.

Prof. Dr. Ignazio Licata
Guest Editor

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.
