Quantum Information Science & Technologies
Submission Deadline: January 31, 2026Contribute to this Special Topic
Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST) is expected to profoundly change the practice of science and engineering in the coming decades. While quantum computing is considered as a paradigm shift in our basic understanding of physical computation, effective implementation of quantum computing in various applications also depends on progresses and development in the dimensions of both quantum computing hardware and algorithms. In addition, the developments of quantum networking simulations, like what has been done for the classical Internet, should be further enhanced and advanced with open-source simulation platforms from contributors around the world. A gap exists between the capability of current QIST stakeholders and the needs in the industrial sectors. To reflect the progress of current QIST developments, this Special Topic collection is dedicated to cutting-edge advancements in various aspects of QIST and to identifying pathways to portable and deployable versions that may have near-term application and commercial impact.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Quantum sensing technology
- Quantum device development
- Quantum computing tool and application
- Quantum compiler
- Quantum communication networking
- Quantum machine learning
- Quantum information
- Quantum computational fluid dynamics
- Quantum entanglement and superposition
- Quantum algorithm development
