Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum computing was proposed in early eighties [1] as a disruptive approach to solve challenging problems in a much faster and efficient way than classical computing can do. Since then, quantum computing has attracted a growing academic interest, and today, research on quantum computing is finally getting out of the labs and seems to be ready to create an impact on the industry. For instance, in a Cloud quantum computing scenario, existing data centers are the natural sites for hosting the quantum computing equipment, while users (residential and business) may access quantum computing power as a service. Multiple applications will then be possible, such as cyber-security (e.g., QKD), quantum Artificial Intelligence, anticounterfeit transactions, finance, quantum biology and medicine, proteomics, genomics, design of new materials, etc.
The aims of this Special Issue include: (1) drawing the state-of-the-art of quantum technologies for the future internet in order to forecast the potential socioeconomic impacts; (2) providing a critical analysis of experimental use cases and scenarios, in order to identify challenges, roadblocks, potential services, time-to-market, and business opportunities; and (3) proposing applications and services road-mapping for future internet based on Quantum Technologies.

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.
