Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum sensors take advantage of the extreme sensitivity of quantum systems to external perturbations to accurately measure a broad range of physical quantities such as acceleration, rotation, magnetic and electric fields, temperature, pressure or frequencies. During the past decade, a wide variety of quantum systems have been employed for sensing purposes, including atomic vapors, trapped ions, photonic qubit, superconducting circuits and artificial atoms in wide-bandgap materials, to name a few. This novel generation of sensors offers unprecedented performances in terms of sensitivity and/or spatial resolution, opening up numerous perspectives for basic science and applications.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary year of the Sensors journal, the Special Issue "Quantum Sensing Technology and Its Applications" aims to highlight some of the latest advances in the rapidly growing field of quantum sensing. We welcome submissions of both original research papers and review articles covering any aspect of quantum sensing, with a particular emphasis on innovative developments and applications of quantum sensors.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
