Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of Quantum Machine Learning (QML), the fusion of quantum computing and machine learning, offers unprecedented opportunities to advance research across multiple scientific fields. Quantum-enhanced algorithms provide powerful tools for overcoming the limitations of classical methods, enabling researchers to tackle complex problems with greater accuracy, efficiency, and speed.
Recent breakthroughs in quantum simulators, variational quantum algorithms, and quantum generative models have made it possible to apply quantum computing to a range of challenging tasks, such as predictive modelling, optimization, and large-scale data analysis. As access to quantum hardware expands, the potential for QML to revolutionize diverse sectors, including but not limited to materials science, environmental monitoring, healthcare, finance, and aerospace, is increasingly becoming tangible.
This Special Issue invites original contributions, technical papers, simulations, and reviews that explore the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and forward-looking perspectives of QML and quantum generative models across various interdisciplinary research areas. While the primary focus will be on the applications of QML in these fields, the scope of this Special Issue is not limited to the defined fields and welcomes contributions from all areas where QML can have a transformative impact.
We aim to highlight how quantum computing can transcend classical limitations and accelerate breakthroughs across a wide range of scientific domains, fostering innovation and expanding the boundaries of what is possible in research and technology.

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. Quantum Reports 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.
