Journal of Quantum Science & Emerging Technologies(JQSET)

Aims and Scope

Journal of Quantum Science & Emerging Technologies is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that explores the transformative potential of quantum science across theoretical foundations, experimental research, and real-world technological applications. The journal provides a cross-disciplinary platform for scientists, engineers, innovators, and policymakers to contribute original research that advances the quantum frontier and integrates emerging technologies with next-generation systems.

Quantum science is rapidly evolving from theoretical constructs to a technology-enabling discipline with profound implications for computing, cryptography, sensing, communication, material design, and more. The journal embraces this evolution by welcoming rigorous studies that bridge core quantum principles with practical innovations. Whether it’s scalable quantum computing, secure quantum networks, quantum-enhanced healthcare solutions, or energy-efficient quantum materials, we are committed to showcasing research that charts the path from quantum theory to transformative technologies.

We foster an inclusive research environment that transcends traditional academic silos. From quantum optics and condensed matter physics to quantum machine learning and hybrid quantum-classical systems, we encourage work that reflects the full scope of quantum-enabled innovation. We welcome contributions from researchers and institutions worldwide, reflecting the truly global nature of quantum science and its far-reaching impact.
