Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of both research papers and review papers on the fascinating problems of quantum physics including gravity, from quantum fields in curved space times to Planckian and trans-Planckian physics and quantum space-time, at the cutting edge of these domains and their most recent advances, whether being of foundational and conceptual nature or of implications and implementations; in cosmology, black holes, non-trivial vaccua, topologies, and geometries, being within the known approaches and frameworks, or with new research avenues in these fields, as well as experimental and observational tests and results. Topics include:
- Quantum fields and strings in curved space times, theory and applications.
- Quantum physics and black holes, semiclassical and quantum black holes.
- Quantum fields in cosmology, inflation and dark energy.
- Planckian and trans-Planckian physics.
- Quantum space-time.
Papers can be submitted at any time before the deadline. Accepted papers are published as soon they are accepted. Early Submission is encouraged.
Prof. Dr. Norma G. Sanchez

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. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. 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.
