Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of atomic magnetic sensor technology offers two important benefits to the R&D community through technical and fundamental studies.
To those inclined towards the practical aspects of measurement, there are well-matured aspects of the technology that enable the exploration of real-life applications for atomic physics concepts. Attractive application areas such as magnetoencephalography (near-zero field) or geomagnetic surveys (earth's field) have been studied extensively. These activities are complemented by the development of sensor components, such as silicon wafer vapour cells and sophisticated magnetic coil designs, that allow the miniaturisation of the measurement unit.
However, this is also a fertile topic for those interested in the fundamental aspects of sensor operation. The development of concepts that improve sensor performance beyond the standard quantum limits, the validation of novel modes of operation, and the expansion of sensor functionalities prove that the field of the atomic magnetic sensors offers opportunities to demonstrate transformative ideas that extend beyond atomic, optical, and molecular physics.
We would like to address these two aspects in this Special Issue of Sensors and present a breadth of research activities from within the atomic magnetic sensors community.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
