Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum correlations provide crucial insights into the most fundamental aspects of nature and represent an essential resource for quantum technologies. In the context of many-body systems, these correlations can appear in complex yet intriguing structures, naturally prompting conceptual questions about their characterisation and quantification. From a practical standpoint, the challenge lies in preparing and detecting many-body quantum correlations using practical experimental tools.
In recent decades, tremendous progress has been made in this field. Quantum correlations have been classified in terms of tasks and resource theories. Information-theoretic tools have been developed to reveal their presence and to measure their strength. Experimental setups have demonstrated their preparation and detection in atomic, optical, and solid-state systems.
This Special Issue provides a timely opportunity to present current advances in our understanding of quantum correlations in many-body systems, while also highlighting open questions in the field. Topics covered in this Special Issue include the preparation, detection, characterisation, and quantification of entanglement, Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering, and Bell nonlocality in many-body systems. Additionally, it emphasises the role of these correlations in quantum technologies, such as quantum metrology, quantum communication, one- and two-sided device-independent tasks, and randomness generation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
