Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum magnets play a central role in the pursuit of novel quantum states of matter. A particularly fascinating class of quantum magnets is quantum spin liquids (QSLs), which harbor long-range entangled ground states and fractionalized excitations. While an unambiguous identification of this long-sought-after state still remains elusive, we have in the last few decades witnessed telltale signatures of QSLs thanks to the discovery of new candidate materials as well as advances in experimental methods and numerical algorithms.
The goal of this Special Issue is to cover the recent developments, key challenges and future aspects in theory, material synthesis, experimental characterization and their mutual intersection in the field of QSLs. Accepted contributions will include original scientific and review articles of a theoretical and experimental nature.

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. Magnetochemistry 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 2700 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.
