Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Symmetry plays a pivotal role in both classical and quantum mechanics. This property is typically associated with conservation equations and conserved quantum numbers, such as angular momentum conservation. Symmetry breaking is sometimes intricately linked with phase transitions, as observed in phenomena like deconfined phase transitions. Therefore, studying symmetry-related issues in classical and particularly quantum mechanics is crucial.
In data processing, symmetry also holds significance in constructing deep neural networks. Leveraging symmetry can notably enhance the performance of these deep neural networks.
The Special Issue covers topics concerning symmetry conservation, symmetry breaking, and the conservation of quantum numbers. Additionally, it explores the applications of symmetry in matrix operations and deep learning networks, as well as in data processing.

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. Symmetry 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.
