Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past 25 years, ultra-cold atoms and quantum fluids have become an area of extremely active research interest. Following several Nobel prizes awarded to researchers associated with this field, the exquisite control over experimental parameters in ultracold atoms has spawned a huge field ranging from precision measurement to quantum simulation. For instance, it has become possible to image and manipulate single atoms in a quantum gas microscope. Self-bound droplets of interacting dipolar quantum fluids have been observed and understood. Many other phenomena that only existed in the minds of visionaries have been observed using these techniques.
In parallel, our theoretical understanding of how quantum systems behave has made huge strides forward. At times, a surprising result of an experiment spawned new insight, and a theoretical framework was developed to match. At other times, a new theoretical concept spawned experiments showing exactly that. It is this interplay between theory and experiment that makes the field of ultracold atoms and quantum gases one of the most exciting. In this Special Issue we aim to illuminate a number of frontiers of our research field.

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.
