Special Issue Information
Quantum field theory (QFT) was formulated to describe physics of elementary particles, and its great successes have been quantum electrodynamics, electro-weak theory, quantum chromodynamics, and the Standard Model of elementary particles. Recently, QFT has been applied successfully to nuclear physics, pure mathematics, and condensed matter physics. However, its formalism has to be further developed in order to establish the existence of mathematically rigorous models of relativistic QFT and to deal with the new challenges, such as quantum gravity and quantization with higher derivatives, strong coupling, and bound states.
This Special Issue is intended to join together contributions analyzing different aspects of quantum field theory and its applications to the different fields of physics.

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.
