Quantum Optics: Entanglement and Coherence in Photonic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum optics has traditionally played important roles in probing the fundamental properties of quantum physics, such as entanglement and quantum coherence. Recently, with the advent of the second quantum revolution, quantum optics has been at the heart of quantum information technologies, such as quantum computing, quantum networks, and quantum metrology. These applied quantum technologies rely on the generation, manipulation, and measurement of quantum optical states of light, e.g., single photons, entanglement, and squeezing.

To echo the recent exciting development in quantum optics, we are launching a Special Issue of Photonics in the field of quantum optics: “Entanglement and Coherence in Photonic Systems”. We encourage you to submit your research work on both theoretical studies and experimental demonstrations.

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. 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.
