AIP Publishing and AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing (AVS) have announced an agreement to publish AVS Quantum Science, a new online interdisciplinary journal. The announcement coincides with the AVS 65th International Symposium & Exhibition in Long Beach, California, from October 21-26, 2018.
There is growing excitement around quantum information science (QIS): the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released a preliminary national QIS strategy in September and the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation awarded $249 million in QIS grants; funders around the globe are allocating almost $15bn to QIS over the next few years.
The scope of AVS Quantum Science is, at its core, the study of measurement. Measuring the smallest possible (quantised) value of a physical property opens the door for understanding additional characteristics and processes that occur on small, medium, and large scales. Quantum science research holds topical connections between the sub-atomic, atomic, and nanoscale research. The very nature of quantum phenomena is such that they may be found in every field within the physical sciences (chemistry, physics, and materials) as well as biology, computer science, and engineering.
Dr. Jason Wilde, AIP Publishing's Chief Publishing Officer, noted that the new journal's scope aligns well within AIP Publishing's own portfolio of journals, which include Applied Physics Letters and Journal of Applied Physics.
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 worked together to launch a new spectral visualisation tool, eSpectra.
