AIP Publishing, a not-for-profit scholarly publisher in the physical sciences, has appointed Dr. Philippe Bouyer as the Editor-in-Chief of AVS Quantum Science, the online interdisciplinary journal it is launching this year in partnership with AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing (AVS). Dr. Bouyer will lead the new journal as it fills the void for a high-impact general publication covering the rapidly evolving field of quantum science (QS).
From the study of measurement at the smallest possible (quantised) value of physical properties to the possibility of creating and controlling tiny clusters of atoms, QS is increasingly important in every field within the physical sciences (chemistry, physics, and materials) as well as biology, computer science, and engineering. Dr. Bouyer laid out his vision for a high-impact journal that will include content formats from reviews to special topics to provide excellent subject coverage while ensuring maximum impact.
An active senior researcher in the field, Dr. Bouyer is currently the director of the Laboratory for Photonics, Digital and Nano Sciences at CNRS/IOGS, Université Bordeaux and Deputy Manager of the Institute d'Optique (Acquitaine branch). In addition, he is the co-founder and consulting chief scientist of MuQuans, a precision quantum sensors company based in France. Among his subsequent positions, he was a visiting professor in physics at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, and served on the inaugural editorial boards of IOP Quantum and Springer EPJ Quantum Technology.
According to Dr. Jason Wilde, Chief Publishing Officer, AIP Publishing, the new journal's scope aligns well within AIP Publishing's portfolio of journals, which includes Applied Physics Letters and Journal of Applied Physics and furthers AIP Publishing's commitment to serve its scholarly societies. AVS is a member society of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) and a long-time publishing partner of AIP Publishing. AIP Publishing provides a full suite of publishing services from manuscript submission to online hosting for AVS publications, which include the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A, Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B, Biointerphases, and Surface Science Spectra. In 2017 AVS and AIP Publishing previously worked together to launch a new spectral visualisation tool, eSpectra.
