Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantum sensing utilizes the properties of quantum mechanics, such as light squeezing and the entanglement of particles, allowing for a measurement and detection that exceeds classical performance limits that heads toward the ultimate limit imposed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. In a gravitational wave detector, the use of a squeezed laser beam substantially lowers the photon shot noise in the interferometer. Employing nonclassical illumination sources and coincidence detection in quantum imaging enhances the spatial resolution of imaging beyond the diffraction limit. Engineering the entanglement on an optical clock, which lies at the heart of quantum information processing and communication, enables the timekeeping operation to overcome the standard quantum limit, which is an important goal in quantum metrology. In addition, combining globally distributed quantum sensors results in an enhanced sensitivity for measuring spatially varying electric and magnetic fields and temperature. This Special Issue aims to collect the latest advances in various quantum sensing techniques and applications.

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.
