Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum information, at the intersection of theoretical physics, computer science and mathematics, has opened up new perspectives in all the above fields and in science in general. Now, more then ever, quantum information science is driving technological innovation, boosting high-precision metrology, communication-encrypted protocols and computation algorithms, moving progressively closer to quantum supremacy.
Besides its wide range of applications, quantum information initiated a period of rapid development for the foundations of quantum theory, shedding new light on non-locality, entanglement and complementarity, laying physical grounds for the axioms of quantum theory. To this end, the natural playgrounds of post-quantum theories became popular and formed a common framework for foundational research.
As is the case in all of science, the notion of symmetry has been a guiding principle in the theoretical development of quantum information and recent advances in quantum foundations. It is a powerful mathematical concept which aids in simplifying theoretical derivations and identifying patterns even beyond the quantum.
This Special Issue is intended to further promote the major role that symmetry plays in quantum information, and it is aimed at researchers who are working at the forefront of the diverse areas involved in this interdisciplinary field, ranging from fundamental research to applications and technologies. Authors are welcome to submit original research results as well as review papers presenting their most relevant achievements.

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.
