Quantum Information Science (QIS) is a rapidly developing field that may impact plasma physics through enhanced sensing and computing capabilities. Conversely, control techniques and novel materials enabled by plasma physics may contribute to QIS advancements. Over the last few years, research at the intersection of these two disciplines has been developing at a rapid pace, laying the foundations of this new field and having already achieved several noteworthy results.

This special issue of the Journal of Plasma Physics aims to gather original contributions in this area, and become a central resource both for researchers already working in this field, as well as for those who are curious about these new developments.

Special issue editors:

Yuan Shi, Assistant Professor of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder.

Nuno Loureiro, Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering and Professor of Physics, MIT; Deputy Director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center, MIT. 

Submission Deadline:  31st April 2024.
