Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum sensing is rapidly transforming the landscape of precision measurement by leveraging uniquely quantum resources such as superposition, coherence, and entanglement. This Special Issue presents a curated collection of recent advances in quantum sensing technologies, methods, and applications. Topics covered span from fundamental breakthroughs in sensor design and control techniques in various platforms to real-world implementations in areas including material science, biology, chemistry, and environmental science. Emphasis is placed on how advances in quantum techniques are boosting sensitivity, improving spatial resolution, increasing robustness to noise, and broadening the capabilities of existing sensors. By bringing together contributions from leading researchers, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the current state and future directions of quantum sensing, highlighting its growing role in both fundamental research and emerging 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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
