Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in exciting moments where one can control quantum devices on the fly over the cloud. However, packaging in more and more such devices, potential decoherence is imminent. To attain a functional, scalable, practical quantum computer, one needs to understand and manipulate such fragile quantum devices in the presence of noise or counter it by doing some manipulations. We hope that the symmetry present in the quantum system might help design or create robust quantum devices that are protective against certain types of noise. The interplay between noisy-intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) devices and their symmetries may also help surpass challenges such as moving beyond the paradigm of equilibrium statistical mechanics and the numerical simulation of open quantum systems and providing a route for predicting novel out-of-equilibrium states without static analogue. In this Special Issue, we intend to gather a series of articles related to the interplay between symmetry and NISQ devices, including but not exclusively dedicated to quantum error mitigation, dynamical phase transitions and decoherence, and numerical methods in open quantum systems. We welcome theory papers with relevant implications in quantum platforms, such as trapped ions and superconducting circuits.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
