Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Could quantum computing revolutionize life science? Fractal structures have the potential to change computers as we study quantum mechanics. From the invention of qubits to the use of superposition and entanglement, quantum computing has advanced dramatically. Fractal structures may reveal new possibilities in the drive to boost computer power. Fractal structures' parallelism and complexity enable efficient exploration of solution spaces, thereby accelerating optimal solution search. Researchers could tackle several challenges in medicine (e.g., multispatial multiomics).
In this Special Issue “Connecting Quantum Computing and Fractal to Tackle Challenges in Medicine", we solicit your innovative ideas and work regarding the thorough investigation and application of the intersection of quantum computing and fractal dimensions in life sciences in the form of original or review articles. In addition, we would appreciate your study focusing on any aspect of numerical analysis, experimental and theoretical verifications, in life sciences. The purpose of this Special Issue is to promote the application of fractal principles in the fields of oncological and non-oncological sciences. The submitted manuscripts will be peer reviewed, and those accepted will be published in the open-access journal Fractal and Fractional.
The topics to be considered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Deep learning;
- Microstructures of cells;
- Biophysical engineering;
- Quantum biology;
- Modeling of fractal behavior;
- Quantum computing-based artificial intelligence;
- Fractal characteristics of quantum biology;
- Experimental and theoretical study;
- Willow (next generation of quantum chips).

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. Fractal and Fractional 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 2700 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.
