Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-equilibrium dynamics in quantum systems is a subject of great interest, with diverse research areas ranging from atomic and molecular physics to condensed matter systems. A number of emerging phenomena have revived interest in quantum dynamics in recent years, including driven-dissipative quantum dynamics; thermalization; many-body localization in isolated quantum systems; far-from-equilibrium quantum dynamics, particularly quench across the quantum critical point; and several intriguing phenomena exhibited by periodically driven quantum systems, such as parametric resonance.
In conventional solid-state systems, it is difficult to observe such dynamical processes directly in experiments. Following the discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of a dilute atomic vapor in a seminal experiment in 1995, the many-body aspects of coherent matter wave got a new direction for exploration. Subsequently, ultracold atomic systems have become a natural platform for the study of various dynamical phenomena of interacting quantum systems.
We would like to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Entropy entitled “Non-equilibrium Dynamics in Ultra-Cold Quantum Gases”. Our aim is to compile scholarly articles that address a wide range of non-equilibrium physics in quantum many-body systems, from fundamental to applied issues, using theoretical, computational, or experimental methods.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Condensed Matter.

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.
