Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce a Special Issue of Future Internet on “The Quantum Internet”.
The quantum internet is an infrastructure that enables the transmission and routing of quantum information, enabling long-distance quantum communication and cryptography, distributed quantum computing, and greatly enhanced precision metrology and sensing. One could break down the challenges of achieving a global quantum network into the following:
- Encoding and decoding quantum information between memories and carriers;
- Preserving quantum information en-route;
- Routing quantum information;
- Conceiving and improving quantum communication protocols.
Accordingly, I invite submissions on the following topics: quantum interconnects (e.g., on-demand entanglement links, quantum memories, etc.), quantum repeaters and bosonic error correction, quantum networking and protocols for distributed quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum communications.
I believe that this Special Issue is an opportunity to strengthen the connection between the research communities that are developing the various aspects of the world’s future quantum communication infrastructure.

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. Future Internet 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 1600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
