Calls for papers

For this broad collection of articles celebrating quantum science and technology we encourage contributions on topics including, but not limited to:

• New quantum mechanical computational chemistry methods. Focusing on new methods to provide expanded variability (customization) to programs and algorithms applied to molecular and materials discovery.
• Studies on materials and nanostructures which exploit quantum effects. The engineering and investigation of materials and nanostructures that exploit QM effects. The collection seeks papers that offer insights into the understanding of Quantum effects or mechanistic insights rather than routine experimental studies that focus on material / device performance.
• Cross-disciplinary studies looking at quantum effects in molecular systems. Studies that bridge chemistry with adjacent disciplines to understand electronic and fundamental effects such as quantum dot cellular automata.
• Applications of quantum computing in chemistry. The design of new quantum algorithms, and application of existing algorithms, in the calculation, prediction and design of atomic, molecular, and materials properties.

If you are interested, please contact us with the name of the journal you would like to contribute to. If you have any questions, we would be delighted to send you more information. If you are unsure which journal would be the most suitable for your work or would like to check a topic’s suitability for a journal, we would be happy to help.

Articles will be promoted and added to the collection as soon as they are accepted, and promotion of the collection is scheduled for the end of 2025. Please mention the collection name “Quantum Science and Technology” when you submit your manuscript. Please note that all submissions will undergo peer-review in the usual manner and must comply with each journal’s usual journal scope and standards.
