Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing are the major themes within quantum information. Using quantum states directly, we can build quantum computers that outperform the most powerful supercomputers in the world, breaking existing cryptography and providing an enormous amount of computing power for scientific computing and other areas where computing power plays a role. Quantum communication is a new communication paradigm that uses quantum states and quantum effects to transmit signals and information. Instead of relying on mathematical complexity for encryption, quantum communication relies on the ability to perceive eavesdropping to protect the security of information. Quantum sensing achieves more precise and more sensitive physical quantities using quantum states.
Now, quantum information is advancing to the application stage. Scientists have built quantum computers with thousands of qubits and preliminary applications are underway, such as calculating chemical structures and analyzing protein folding. Scientists have achieved quantum secure direct communication and quantum key distribution over hundreds or even a thousand kilometers. Atomic clocks and other types of quantum sensors already have a place in real-life applications. Major research results in this field indicate that quantum information is becoming more and more practical. Nevertheless, there are still difficulties that need to be resolved in practical applications, such as achieving quantum error correction, reducing the interference from environmental noise in quantum communication, enhancing the performance of quantum sensors, and so on. This Special Issue aims to summarize and publish research results and research trends in the field of quantum information, working towards new 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.
