Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum-enhanced sensors enable us to acquire unprecedent sensitivity and precision for many measurements and explorations in various scenarios, including but not limited to electric and magnetic fields, acceleration, gravity and exotic forces. Most of these applications benefit from the utilization of light–matter interactions platforms such as atomic magnetometers/comagnetometers, atomic clocks and optomechanical systems. At present, the question of how we can develop more versatile quantum sensors and further improve their performance for sensing applications is attracting great interest from researchers. This Special Issue is expected to advance and develop novel quantum-enhanced sensing technology and related techniques. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel design and simulation of quantum sensors;
- Progress on improvement on quantum enhanced sensors and systems;
- Novel principles and technology on light-matter interactions;
- Optical detection techniques;
- Signal detection and control of photonics devices;
- Advanced manufacturing and integration technologies;
- Noise analysis and suppression methods;
- Applications using quantum enhanced sensors;
- Other quantum metrology with optical systems.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
