Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have already been many models suggested that should explain the late-time accelerated expansion of the Universe on the classical level of physics. In recent years, however, a whole range of models has emerged that provide explanations within the framework of quantum gravity models; for example, metastring theory, loop quantum gravity, group field theory, causal set approach, non-commutative geometry, causal dynamical triangulation, asymptotic safety, entropic gravity, and ring paradigm. We invite researchers to submit articles to this Special Issue to further investigate the aforementioned subject.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Physics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.
