Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the value of data gradually increases, ensuring the security of data transmission becomes crucial. Quantum cryptography utilizes the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to generate and distribute encryption keys, providing higher security for data transmission. At present, quantum cryptography has obtained security proof at the level of information theory, and relevant industry standards are gradually being established. In addition, quantum key distribution technology has moved from laboratory verification to practical engineering applications. Specifically, the device has transitioned from discrete devices to optical integration, the transmission channel has expanded from fiber to free space, and the distribution protocol has evolved from the initial point-to-point system to multipoint-to-multipoint network architecture.
This Special Issue aims to compile a series of research papers to present the latest developments in quantum cryptography and quantum information. We sincerely invite submissions related to the theoretical and experimental progress in fields such as quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, quantum networks, quantum chips, physical cryptography, and other fields related to quantum information.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
