Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The geometric description of thermodynamics has a long history of development since the work of Gibbs. The geometric method is not only appropriate for constructing the framework of thermodynamics, but it is also an elegant and effective tool in solving practical problems such as optimization of thermodynamics processes. Today, the role of geometry is receiving considerable attention from the community of quantum thermodynamics. It is hoped this Special Issue will provide a venue for recent developments in solving quantum thermodynamic problems with geometric methods, as well as thinking of the foundation of quantum thermodynamics from a geometric perspective. The topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following:
- Thermodynamic length in optimizing quantum thermodynamic processes;
- Unify description of classical and quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relations from a geometric perspective;
- Geometry and quantum information erasing;
- Contact geometric structure of quantum thermodynamics.

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.
