Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Holographic principle, which is inspired by the expression for the entropy of black holes, states that in theories with gravity, physics of any region of space is encoded in the information on the boundary of this region. The general idea of holography found a specific realization in the gauge/gravity duality, which postulates an equivalence between string theory (quantum gravity) on a space and field theory on the boundary of that space. Over the last two decades gauge/gravity duality has led to important breakthroughs in different fields, from physics of strong interactions and black holes to theories of superconductivity and quantum phase transitions.
For this special issue we welcome manuscripts related to the holographic principle, gauge/gravity duality, and their applications to quantum gravity, strong interactions, and condensed matter physics.

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.
