Future Prospects of Quantum Chips and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum chips are designed to manipulate, store, and process quantum information, making them ideal for solving complex problems beyond the reach of classical computing. They also enable secure quantum communications and enhanced quantum sensing beyond the classical limit. Although the development of quantum chips is still in its early stages, significant progress has been made in recent years.

In this Special Issue, we aim to provide a platform for researchers and experts in the field of quantum computing to share their insights and perspectives on the future prospects of quantum chips and their applications. We welcome papers on all aspects of quantum chips, including on their design, fabrication, characterization, and applications. We invite original research, review articles, and communications that focus on the latest developments in quantum chip technology, as well as their potential applications in areas such as cryptography, machine learning, and drug discovery, among others.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
