Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum memories are devices that can store quantum information and retrieve it intact and on demand. They are required both for stationary and flying qubits, for applications in all areas of quantum information processing.
There are many quantum memory protocols using various material platforms, from nuclear spins to optical cavities, each with its own advantages and optimal application.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together contemporary research works on quantum memories using various platforms and protocols, presenting a wide picture of the current frontiers in this diverse and rapidly growing field.
I will be very happy to receive your contribution.
Dr. Eilon Poem

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).
