Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wigner’s “unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics” applies to foundational problems in quantum information theory (QIT) and the puzzles of quantum mechanics (EPR, Kochen-Specker, Schr¨odinger’s cat). Advanced mathematical concepts such as finite simple groups and the related finite geometries, algebraic combinatorics, number theory, the modularity theorem and operator algebras have been shown to play a significant role in QIT. Finding efficient quantum codes and algorithms, modeling quantum communication channels, generalized quantum measurements (POVMs) and the representation of quantum computing are some instances of the usefulness of mathematics in quantum physics. Finally quantum-like cognition and the quantum mind are valid concepts pertaining to the boundary of mathematics and the human mind that needs further study.
The Guest Editor solicits papers dealing with these challenging questions in the language of mathematics.
Prof. Dr. Michel Planat

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. Mathematics 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.
