Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum photonics have undergone rapid development over the past decade, which, thanks to the scalability and phase stability offered by integrated platforms, opens up exciting opportunities for quantum information processing. As a result of the growing complexity of quantum information processing tasks, many advanced technologies and functionalities have been developed on chip. Quantum devices fabricated on various material platforms can now be merged through hybrid or heterogeneous integration, allowing each material to be fully exploited. Utilizing various tuning techniques, quantum light sources, optical circuits, etc., can be actively controlled, forming "reconfigurable devices". Programmable quantum photonics processors with more than 100 tunable units have been developed, with which demonstrations of quantum simulation applications have been achieved. All these new technologies have advanced the state of the art in on-chip generation, manipulation, and detection of the quantum state of light.
For this Special Issue, you are invited to submit research and review articles on novel technology developed in the field of quantum photonics and relevant devices. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
- Solid-state quantum light sources;
- On-chip quantum light generation and manipulation;
- Non-linear optical materials and devices;
- Integrated quantum photonic devices;
- Hybrid, or heterogenous, integration of quantum photonic devices;
- Reconfigurable quantum photonic devices;
- Photon detectors;
- Opto-electronic devices and systems for quantum applications.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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 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. Micromachines 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.
