Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, many relevant developments, theoretical, experimental, and technological, have led to the proposal and implementation of novel imaging and sensing protocols capable of exploiting photon correlations, either classical or quantum, to overcome the intrinsic limitations of conventional devices.
Enhanced resolution, sensitivity, accuracy, and 3D imaging capability are combined with robustness to scattering and turbulence, as well as the capability of performing imaging and sensing at a given wavelength while measuring photons at a different one.
These developments are expected to have a revolutionary impact in many fields, from remote sensing, target detection, and ranging applications, to biomedical imaging, industrial inspection, gas sensing, and material sciences.
This Special Issue will collect both reviews and original research papers in the field of quantum and quantum-inspired optical imaging and sensing, thus bringing together the latest advances in both enabling technologies (such as photon sources and detectors) and novel protocols, measuring techniques and devices.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
