Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry principles play a fundamental role in quantum science, especially in quantum optics and quantum information. They define the structure of quantum states and determine the behavior of entanglement and coherence. By revealing conservation laws and constraints, symmetries help classify quantum correlations, optimize state preparation, and protect information against noise, making them indispensable tools in both theoretical and experimental quantum research.
In recent decades, rapid progress in quantum information theory and quantum optics has highlighted the importance of symmetry-based approaches in a wide range of physical systems. This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring symmetry-driven phenomena in quantum systems, with a focus on emerging topics such as the quantification of coherence and quantum correlations in magnomechanical, optomechanical, and qubit platforms; magnomechanically induced transparency; photon-magnon-phonon blockade effects; symmetry methods; representation theory; thermodynamic processes; quantum metrology; quantum geometry; and quantum teleportation in the quantum regime.
We especially encourage submissions that investigate how symmetry can be harnessed to design novel quantum information protocols, reveal new forms of entanglement, or deepen our understanding of quantum resources.
We warmly invite contributions from leading researchers across the fields of quantum optics, quantum information, condensed matter, and related disciplines.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
