Special Issue Information
In this Special Issue, we propose the discussion of information geometric descriptions of both classical and quantum complex phenomena, from both an applied and theoretical perspective. Several types of scientists undertake these types of investigations, including applied mathematicians, quantum physicists, and statistical physicists. The mathematical and physical tools needed to investigate such problems are quite diverse and include, in particular, inference methods, information theory, probability theory, quantum physics, Riemannian geometry, and statistical physics. More importantly, the role that the concept of entropy plays in such information geometric formulations of natural phenomena is becoming increasingly important.
It is our great pleasure to welcome your contributions to this Special Issue with the main aim of advancing our search for a unifying information geometric complexity measure of universal applicability. Finally, we hope to highlight the entropic aspects uncovered by means of the information geometric modeling of natural complex phenomena, including special scenarios covered by either classical or quantum methods of theoretical physics.

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.
