Towards Ultimate Quantum Theory (UQT)

Dear Colleagues,

In spite of its tremendous success (both theoretical and experimental), the present quantum theory cannot be considered as the ultimate theory of micro-phenomena. It suffers from a variety of fundamental problems. Quantum mechanics is a nonrelativistic theory and its relativistic generalization, quantum field theory, suffers of divergences. However, of course, the biggest black cloud in the quantum sky is the impossibility to unify presently-existing quantum theory with general relativity. This Special Issue will be devoted to searching for new ways to create an ultimate quantum theory. However, since this project can take very long time (and even it may happen that it is never finished), the issue also covers all traditional foundational topics: Interpretations, measurement theory, quantum information, entanglement and Bell-type inequalities, mathematical apparatus, experiment and its statistical analysis, quantum versus classical probability and randomness, quantum versus classical random walk, applications of the quantum formalism outside of physics, and especially applications of the principle of complementarity in cognition and decision making.

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.
