Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the 21st century, we are moving towards a true coming-of-age of technologies that use quantum mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and quantum many-body effects with applications ranging from quantum communications to quantum imaging. The quantum mechanical properties of single photons have proven to be fundamental for the implementation of intrinsically secure cryptographic distribution systems and are the stepping stones for the development of new research paths ranging from fundamental studies to their applications. This Special Issue will be devoted to the development of quantum photonics and their applications. Topics include the study of quantum correlations and their applications by using photons such as causality tests, photonic protocols for quantum key distribution, hybrid entanglement, quantum walks, search for new physics with high-precision quantum optics experiments, etc.
Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on the theoretical and experimental progress of quantum photonics and their applications in physics and technology.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
Dr. Gonzalo Carvacho

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. Micromachines 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.
