Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the fifth Special Issue devoted to the theme of “Quantum Probability and Randomness”; for the first four issues, visit the following links:
- Quantum Probability and Randomness
- Quantum Probability and Randomness II
- Quantum Probability and Randomness III
- Quantum Probability and Randomness IV
The previous Special Issues collected a sample of high-quality papers, both theoretical and experiment-related, written by experts in this area, which attracted considerable interest (including numerous downloads). This is why we have decided to proceed once again with this hot topic by considering structuring this theme into a regular series based on the Entropy journal.
The last few years have been characterized by tremendous developments in quantum information and probability and their applications, including quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum random generators. Despite the successful development of quantum technology, its foundational basis is still not concrete and contains a few sandy and shaky slices. Quantum random generators are one of the most promising outputs of the recent quantum information revolution. Therefore, it is very important to reconsider the foundational basis of this project, starting with the notion of irreducible quantum randomness.
Quantum probabilities present a powerful tool to model uncertainty. Interpretations of quantum probability and foundational meanings of its basic tools, starting with the Born rule, are among the topics which will be covered in this Special Issue.
Recently, quantum probability has started to play an important role in a few areas of research outside quantum physics—in particular, the quantum probabilistic treatment of problems of the theory of decision making under uncertainty. Such studies are also among the topics addressed in this Special Issue.
The areas covered include the following:
- Foundations of quantum information theory and quantum probability;
- Quantum versus classical randomness and quantum random generators;
- Generalized probabilistic models;
- Quantum contextuality and generalized contextual models;
- Bell’s inequality, entanglement, and randomness;
- Quantum-like probabilistic modeling of the process of decision making under uncertainty;
- Quantum probabilistic models of cognition and AI;
- Quantum probability and foundational questions of quantum technologies (computing and cryptography);
- Quantum probability and information in biology.
Of course, possible topics need not be restricted to the list above; any contribution directed to the improvement of quantum foundations and the development of quantum probability and randomness is welcome.

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.
