Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum IoT (QIoT) represents a groundbreaking integration of Quantum Computing and the Internet of Things, poised to revolutionize connectivity and drive technological innovation. By leveraging quantum technologies, QIoT can significantly enhance the efficiency, security, and scalability of IoT systems through quantum-enhanced algorithms, quantum cryptography, and advanced quantum sensors.
Despite its vast potential, the implementation of QIoT faces challenges such as high research costs, infrastructure requirements, and the need for seamless integration with classical systems. This Special Issue explores the multifaceted dimensions of QIoT, presenting cutting-edge research and practical applications that highlight the transformative impact of quantum technologies on IoT.
Through this collection, we aim to provide insights into the current advancements, future directions, and innovative solutions within the realm of QIoT, fostering a deeper understanding and inspiring further research in this emerging field.
This Special Issue will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Quantum AI for IoT optimization;
- Machine learning integration in quantum IoT systems;
- Quantum IoT and fog computing: enhancing edge intelligence;
- Cloud-based quantum IoT solutions;
- Quantum computing in IoT;
- Quantum-enhanced IoT architectures;
- Quantum cryptography for IoT security;
- Quantum sensors in IoT;
- Quantum machine learning for IoT data analysis;
- Quantum key distribution (QKD) in IoT networks;
- Quantum algorithms for real-time IoT analytics;
- Edge computing with quantum processors;
- Secure data transmission in quantum IoT;
- Quantum IoT in healthcare applications;
- Quantum IoT for smart cities;
- Interoperability between classical and quantum IoT systems;
- Ethical and regulatory considerations in quantum IoT;
- Quantum IoT network protocols.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
