Dynamics of Quantum Plasmas

Submission Deadline: October 1, 2025Contribute to this Special Topic

This Special Collection invites theoretical, computational and experimental papers devoted to quantum effects in dense charged particle systems, particularly, the dynamics of quantum plasmas.

The year 2025 has been designated by UNESCO as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. 125 years ago Max Planck’s discovery of radiation quanta started the quantum era and 100 years ago quantum mechanics was discovered by Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, Pauli, Dirac, Born, Fermi and many others. By now, quantum mechanics is the theoretical foundation of most fields of physics, including plasma physics.

This special issue invites original, review-type, perspectives, and tutorial contributions. Papers should include but are not limited to the following:

  • Systems: quantum plasmas occuring in compact stars and planetary interiors, and plasma compression experiments, including inertial confinement fusion;
  • Phenomena: dynamic (frequency-dependent) effects in equilibrium; linear and nonlinear collective modes; time evolution and relaxation of quantum plasmas;
  • Experimental methods: generation and diagnostics of quantum plasmas
  • Theoretical methods: Quantum Monte Carlo, DFT-MD, time-dependent DFT, quantum kinetic theory, quantum hydrodynamics, average atom models, semiclassical MD and Wave packet MD, as applied in modern plasma physics. Neural networks, Quantum algorithms and computation

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Quantum plasmas
  • Dense charged particle systems
  • Plasma dynamics
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Compact stars
  • Inertial confinement fusion
  • Collective modes
  • Quantum hydrodynamics
  • Quantum algorithms
  • Neural networks in plasma physics
