The Quantum & The Gravity
This special issue belongs to the section “Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Gravity“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of the international workshop “The Quantum & The Gravity 2021″ is to provide a stimulating occasion of discussion on our current understanding of nature at the fundamental level and on the interplay between quantum and gravitational physics. To properly address these delicate topics, foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum field theory and quantum information, as well as quantum aspects of black holes and phenomenology of quantum gravity, will be covered throughout the period of the workshop.
Different schools of thought will be brought together so as to let everyone benefit from fruitful debates and possibly develop novel insights and a critical viewpoint. All these inspiring ideas will be summarized and contained within the Special Issue (SI) that is associated with the conference. Therefore, the main subjects that will be discussed in the articles belonging to the SI are precisely the ones that lie at the heart of the online workshop.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. 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.
