From the start, AVS Quantum Science made a commitment to provide the highest possible standard of care to our authors. Now that the journal has been publishing for almost a year and a half, we asked some of our recent authors about their personal experience publishing with us. Meet some of the authors of AVS Quantum Science, explore their work, and see how we measured up!

Leonid Krivtsky: I was invited by the editors of the journal to submit a review. Overall, we felt that the editors and reviewers were prompt and easy to work with throughout the entire review process. We also appreciated the careful reading of the reviewers.
On-chip heralded single photon sources
S. Signorini and L. Pavesi
October 2020, https://doi.org/10.1116/5.0018594
Lorenzo Pavesi is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Trento, in Italy.
AIP Publishing: In your own words, can you share with us the importance and relevance of your review?
Lorenzo Pavesi: The various platforms which allows fabricating single photon sources competitive with the deterministic quantum-dots based single photon sources are discussed. On chip heralded single photon sources are suitable for mass-production of quantum photonic integrated circuits for various applications such as quantum sensing, quantum computing, quantum simulation, secure quantum communication, and more.
AIP Publishing: Why did you choose to publish with AVS Quantum Science? How was your experience?
Lorenzo Pavesi: The solid reputation of the publisher and the new high quality journal which has the perspective of becoming the proper forum to discuss the second quantum technology revolution were the two main motivations. The experience was smooth and the interaction with a publisher which understand the academic and research frameworks makes a very easy and enjoyable the publication process. Manuscript review and production were both fast and effective!

Geometric perspective on quantum parameter estimation
Jasminder S. Sidhu and Pieter Kok
February 2020, https://doi.org/10.1116/1.5119961
Jasminder Sidhu, FHEA, is a Post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, at The University of Sheffield, in the UK.
AIP Publishing: In your own words, can you share with us the importance and relevance of your review?
Jasminder Sidhu: Quantum metrology is a frontrunner to early practical applications of quantum technologies. This review provides a detailed account of quantum metrology, from key theoretical results to experimental implementations. We present the review through a geometric perspective, which unifies current topics such as Bayesian quantum estimation, noisy quantum metrology, and distributed multi-parameter quantum sensing into an intuitive big picture of quantum parameter estimation.
AIP Publishing: Why did you choose to publish with AVS Quantum Science? How was your experience?
Jasminder Sidhu: Pieter and I were invited by AVS Quantum Science to submit a review on quantum sensing and metrology. The review/publication process was smooth, helpful, and fast.
