Quantum Chaos and Complexity

Dear Colleagues,

The research on quantum chaos finds its roots in the study of the spectrum of complex nuclei in the 1950s and the pioneering experiments in microwave billiards during the 1970s. This field is usually defined as the study of the connection between quantum mechanics and classical chaotic behavior, in order to understand how a well-defined characterization of the stationary and dynamical aspects of classical chaos emerges, both in the energy and in the time domains, respectively.

However, research on quantum chaos has certainly extended its scope during recent decades, due to the increasing discovery of connections with other disciplines in physics. It is nowadays an active field of research that has become of fundamental importance in the study of the properties, dynamics and control of complex quantum systems, and has found applications in a vast range of phenomena: nonlinear quantum dynamics, quantum complex networks, chaotic scattering in open systems, phase transitions in mixed quantum dynamics, Anderson localization, atoms in strong fields, etc.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
