Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of quantum devices for sensing and other applications is a new and exciting field of physics and engineering which includes technologies that utilize properties of quantum mechanics, such as quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, quantum interference, quantum tunneling, etc., to provide enhanced precision and performance compared to conventional approaches. These devices are expected to find important applications in a wide variety of fields, such as in sensors, quantum computing, imaging, quantum energy generators, space navigation, etc. Quantum sensors in particular could be utilized in many interesting areas, including microscopy, positioning systems, communication technology, electric and magnetic field sensing, etc. Within this new technology, individual quantum systems can be used as sensing elements to enhance sensitivity and boost the overall performance of conventional sensors through quantum effects such as entanglement, superposition, interference and squeezing. For example, a novel device has been proposed recently [1] that utilizes Weyl fermions to both control the flow of information across several channels simultaneously and sense electric fields with enhanced sensitivity and performance.

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. Sensors 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.
