Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Machine learning and optimum stochastic control share similar objectives: to modify the dynamics of a complex stochastic dynamical system using measurement mediated feedback, to minimize the cost function of the output. Quantum control is now a mature subject and includes, in addition to the analogue of classical measurement-based control, a number of uniquely quantum protocols based on coherent control. Noise will be significant and occur even at a temperature of zero. This is a feature that distinguishes classical from quantum machine learning. In this Special Issue, we request papers addressing the role of measurement/coherent quantum control for quantum machine learning. Topics will include:
- Noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) learning machines using quantum control for training.
- Quantum thermodynamics (decoherence, entropy, free energy, irreversibility) in quantum machine learning.
- Generalizations of the classical fluctuation theorems (e.g. Jaryznski equality) for open quantum systems subject to measurement, and their role in machine learning.
- Coherent control schemes for quantum machine learning.
- The role of quantum information in quantum machine learning (entanglement, decoherence, error correction, etc.)
- Coherent Ising machines and similar models.
- Quantum machine learning as large scale dissipative many-body systems.
Design protocols for dissipative quantum machine learning (e.g. SLH, QHDL).

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. Entropy 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
