About the journal

Scope
Quantum Science and Technology (QST) is dedicated to bringing together the latest and most important results and perspectives from across the emerging field of quantum science and technology. QST is a highly selective journal; submissions must be both essential reading for a particular sub-field and of interest to the broader quantum science and technology community with the expectation for lasting scientific and technological impact. We therefore anticipate that only a small proportion of submissions to QST will be selected for publication. We feel that the rapidly growing QST community is looking for a journal with this profile, and one that together we can achieve.
Submissions that do not meet QST's strict acceptance criteria may be transferred at the discretion of the journal's editors (with author approval) to other relevant journals in the IOP portfolio for consideration.
Specific topics of interest include:
- Quantum cryptography
- Quantum simulation
- Quantum metrology
- Quantum engineering
- Quantum sensing
- Quantum communication
- Quantum computation
- Quantum biology
- Quantum materials
- Quantum control
- Hybrid quantum systems
- Quantum thermodynamics
- Quantum machine learning and intelligence
- Quantum software, algorithms and code
In addition to publishing research articles that report urgent breakthrough results of significant importance to the field of quantum science and technology, QST will also publish invited Topical Reviews on themes of particular current interest to the community.
Article types
QST welcomes submissions of the following article types:
- Letters: outstanding concise articles, reporting important, new and timely developments. These articles should be deserving of priority review, and you are required to upload a justification statement along with your submission.
- Papers: reports of high-quality original research with conclusions representing a significant advance in the field.
- Special Issue Articles: invited articles, which will form a special collection of papers on a specific theme. When asked to select 'Article Type' on the submission system, please select 'Special Issue Article'. Then select the special issue you're submitting to in the drop down box that appears.
- Perspectives: commissioned brief commentaries that highlight the impact and wider implications of new research.
- Topical Reviews: written by leading researchers in their fields, these articles present the background to and overview of a particular field, and the current state of the art. Topical review articles are typically invited by the Editorial Board.
- Roadmaps: a collection of short 2--3 page perspectives on a topic. Each section has a different author(s), and the sections are combined together into one article for publication. Roadmaps capture the breadth of the hot topics in the field, and, as opposed to a Review article, they are more forward looking. Each perspective should look at the history and status of the topic, current and future challenges, and advances in science and technology needed to address the challenges.
- Comments: comment or criticism on work previously published in the journal. These are usually published with an associated reply.
Frequency
QST publishes four issues per year.
Peer review
QST operates a single-blind peer review process, in which the reviewers know the identity of the authors, but the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.
Our Publishing Support website provides more information on our reviewing process.
If an article is not accepted for publication in QST, we may offer the author the opportunity to transfer their submission to other suitable journals we publish. This process is explained in more detail on our Publishing Support website.
Ethics
QST maintains the highest standards of publication and research ethics and is a member of the Committee for Publication Ethics (COPE). Authors are expected to comply with IOP Publishing's Ethical policy.
Research data
Many research funders now require authors to make all data related to their research available in an online repository. Information about research data, data repositories and data citation can be found on our Publishing Support website.
Open access
QST is a hybrid open access journal. Authors have the option to pay an article publication charge (APC) to publish their article on a gold open access basis under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence. Articles published on a gold open access basis are freely available to everyone to read and reuse immediately upon publication, provided the terms of the licence are followed and clear attribution to the author is given. The APC for Bioinspiration & Biomimetics can be found on the Publication charges page.
For more information on IOP Publishing?? open access policies please see our Open access page.
Copyright and permissions
We work with our authors to make sure that they understand their rights and responsibilities when they publish in QST. Information about copyright, permissions and our copyright form can be found on our Copyright page.
Abstracting and indexing services
We work with our authors to make help their work as easy to discover as possible. QST is currently included in the following abstracting and discovery services:
- Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). All content in the journal will therefore be included in Web of Science.
- Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
