Special Issue on Advances in Quantum Physics

Since its birth about one century ago, quantum mechanics has been full of controversy due to its many counter-intuitive features, such as wave-function collapse, randomness in measurement, non-local entanglement, wave–particle duality, uncertainty principle, etc. To cope with these puzzles and difficulties, different interpretations have been proposed to make quantum mechanics look like rational and self-consistent, such as: Copenhageninterpretation, many-worlds interpretation, von Neumann/Wigner interpretation which claims that consciousness causes the collapse, etc. The controversy in quantum mechanics is actually one of the propelling forces behind the advances of quantum physics. Many experiments have also been conducted to test the weirdness of quantum mechanics. These experiments include experiments testingBell’s inequality which confirmed the non-local property of quantum mechanics, and interaction-free measurements related to many-worlds interpretation, etc. Besides the researches performed to explore the scientific and philosophic aspects of quantum physics, many technologies are also developed base on quantum physics. In fact, quantum physics is one of the corner-stones of modern technology, such as semiconductor chip, laser, MRI, nanoelectronic, quantum cryptography, and many more. Researchers involved in quantum physics are from different scientific fields, including physics, chemistry, philosophy, mathematics, engineering, nanotech, computer science, material science, etc.

The issue on “Advances in Quantum Physics” will focus on both theoretical and experimental research frontiers.Topics covered include but not limited to:

•          quantum optics
•          quantum electronics
•          quantum technology
•          quantum information
•          quantum computing
•          interpretation of quantum mechanics
•          interaction-free measurements
•          quantum measurement
•          quantum condensed matter
•          quantum gravity
•          quantum chemistry

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on Advances in Quantum Physics.
