Entropy in Classical and Quantum Information Theory with Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The concept of entropy is at the core of both classical and quantum information theory, allowing us to quantify uncertainty in data via various related measures. That is, entropy not only governs the way in which we perceive information but also how information is communicated and processed. As such, it plays a key role in addressing problems that span diverse fields, from physics and chemistry to finance and medicine, constituting a foundation for multiple scientific and technological developments. Of particular importance in this regard is the incorporation of entropy measures into the emerging technologies of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. This Special Issue invites original contributions to the above intriguing and evolving field. In particular, its scope covers all fundamental aspects of various entropy measures at the classical and quantum levels, along with the corresponding applications.

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. Entropy 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 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.
