Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of experimental quantum technology and its application to the fabrication and manipulation of quantum devices have sparked renewed interest in the theory of non-Markovian open quantum systems. Understanding the temporal behaviors of these systems is crucial for addressing fundamental issues such as quantum dissipation, decoherence, quantum control, and quantum transport processes across different time scales. However, the widespread application of non-Markovian open quantum systems also presents significant challenges in characterizing and detecting quantum memory effects. For instance, non-Markovian quantum memory represents a promising frontier for enhancing quantum coherence time and generating robust entanglement, significantly boosting quantum processing capabilities and paving the way for more reliable quantum devices.
This special issue aims to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by recent advancements in non-Markovian open systems and their applications within the realm of quantum science and technology. We invite researchers and educators to contribute original research articles to this special issue.
List of topic areas:
- Non-Markovian evolution and control
- Manipulating quantum states in the presence of non-Markovian environment
- Many-body dynamics and transition from non-Markovian to Markov
- Non-Markovian quantum trajectories and non-Markovian master equations
- Characterization and detection of non-Markovian dynamics
- Non-Markovian quantum process tomography
- Non-Markovian dynamics and large-scale numerical simulations
- Machine learning and quantum open system simulations
- Non-Markovian features in quantum measurement, quantum metrology of weak forces
- Non-Markovian quantum transport and 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.
