Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum Mechanics has represented a gigantic breakthrough for physics since its introduction more than a century ago. It has led to many discoveries at the microscopic level, initiated new pathways to unsuspected properties of matter, and produced new amazing usable applications. This Special Issue of Symmetry is devoted to recent advances in theoretical developments in Quantum Mechanics. It is part of the global effort to provide a continuous supply of information to the research community. Original contributions, under various forms and presentations, are welcomed, especially when covering the following topics:

  • Supersymmetry;
  • Superintegrability;
  • Phase space formulation;
  • Entanglement;
  • Measurement theory;
  • Symmetry group invariance;
  • Representation theory;
  • Anions;
  • Deformation quantization

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. Symmetry 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.

This paper examines the dynamics of quantum steering and fidelity in a two-photon system subjected to dephasing interactions, examining their behavior in Markovian and non-Markovian environments. We consider the case of identical and distinct dephasing rates with experimental parameter values to ensure that the analysis reflects realistic conditions, enhancing its relevance to practical quantum systems. Quantum steering, the ability to remotely influence a quantum state, and fidelity, a measure of initial-state preservation, are investigated for time evolution, initial-state configuration, dephasing parameters, and system characteristics. We model each photon as independently interacting with its environment and derive the time-evolved reduced-density matrix for the bipartite system, focusing on how environmental effects shape the system’s behavior. By integrating experimentally feasible parameter values, this work establishes a practical framework for tuning quantum steering and fidelity, providing valuable insights for applications in quantum information processing, such as secure communication and state preservation.
