EPJ Quantum Technology

Driven by advances in technology and experimental capability, the last decade has seen the emergence of quantum technology: a new praxis for controlling the quantum world. It is now possible to engineer complex, multi-component systems that merge the once distinct fields of quantum optics and condensed matter physics. EPJ Quantum Technology, a fully open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen, will cover theoretical and experimental advances in subjects including but not limited to the following: • quantum measurement, metrology and lithography • quantum complex systems, networks and cellular automata • quantum electromechanical systems • quantum optomechanical systems • quantum machines, engineering and nanorobotics • quantum control theory • quantum information, communication and computation • quantum thermodynamics • quantum metamaterials • the effect of Casimir forces on micro- and nano-electromechanical systems • quantum biology • quantum sensing • hybrid quantum systems • quantum simulations The journal will NOT consider the following topics: • foundations of quantum mechanics • alternative approaches to, new structures for or different interpretations of QM (e.g. Bohmian Mechanics) • non-technical applications such as "quantum consciousness", “quantum psychology", "quantum economics" etc.
