Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With Poincaré’s work, the study of classical chaos was born. Chaos is a pervasive physical phenomenon in nature and one of the fundamental research topics of nonlinear science. Chaos has been found to play an important role in numerous areas of physics and mathematics. It has also been widely applied in computer science, electronics, economics, biology, and chemistry.
The success of chaotic maps in shedding light on classical chaos has prompted physicists to quantize chaotic maps in the hope that quantum maps will also shed light on the quantum chaos problem. As is the case with classical chaos, chaotic quantum maps not only provide profound insight into quantum chaos but have also opened the door to applications in other disciplines. In the last decade, quantum maps have been widely used in chaos-based cryptography due to their dynamical complexity. Many new possibilities for chaos-based quantum encryption are beginning to emerge. Consequently, we propose this Special Issue of Mathematics as a tool for highlighting recent advances, challenges, and prospects in this field. The following topics, among others, will be covered in this Special Issue: new quantum dynamical systems; new statistical techniques; dynamical degradation of quantum maps; complexity; and security evaluation of chaos-based cryptosystems. Review papers are also welcomed.

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.
