Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The convergence of machine learning and the computational capabilities of quantum computing is attracting increasing interest as a novel methodology that leverages principles borrowed from quantum mechanics to provide a robust speedup to current AI approaches, reduce the amount of data necessary for training, overcome the computational constraints of current AI approaches and open new possibilities both for generative AI and general optimization tasks. Quantum machine learning (QML) has shown enormous potential, raising the performance bar in algorithm optimization and computational cost in a wide variety of tasks. QML approaches range from Quantum Support Vector Machines (QVMs), Quantum Variational Circuits (QVC), and Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs). In addition, a new paradigm is being created, given the growing interest in exploring the potential of QML in language-related tasks: Quantum Natural Language Processing (QNLP). This is a sub-field of research combining state-of-the-art NLP technologies, such as large language models (LLMs) or transformers, with the computational potential offered by quantum technologies.
Such approaches and recent advances in quantum machine learning, both from a theoretical and application perspective, are the focus of this Special Issue. It will provide up-to-date findings in theories, approaches, and experiments for a broad range of readers.
Topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Quantum algorithms;
- Quantum computing;
- Quantum communication;
- Quantum neural networks;
- Quantum language models:
- Quantum information processing;
- Quantum machine learning;
- Quantum transfer learning;
- Quantum natural language processing;
- Quantum information retrieval;
- Quantum text classification;
- Quantum hybrid approaches

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
