Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Theoretical and computational studies of condensed-matter systems rely on methods from quantum mechanics and statistical physics together with advanced computational techniques to model, predict and gain useful insights into emergent phenomena, such as superconductivity, magnetism, superfluidity and topology, showing up in complex systems (solids, liquids and other materials) due to interactions between their building blocks. These studies aim at designing materials across various scales (from atomic to macroscopic), speeding up discovery and optimizing performance by bridging theory with experiments, reshaping industries from energy to aerospace.
In this Special Issue, we strive to collect several articles and reviews dedicated to the hot topics in theoretical and computational condensed-matter physics, shedding light on recent advances in this interdisciplinary research field.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
