Aims and scope

Quantum Measurement & Metrology is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-impact research on quantum-enabled precision measurement and metrology. The journal promotes frontier advances in both fundamental and applied research, covering basic principles, technological innovations, and engineering implementations. It encourages interdisciplinary collaboration spanning physics, engineering, chemistry, materials science, environmental science and life science, and is devoted to fostering a shared academic identity among researchers.

Our editorial office is committed to providing authors, readers, and reviewers with efficient, fair, and transparent services. With strict academic standards and rigorous peer review, the journal aims to become the primary academic platform for reporting top-level advances in the field.

Major topics within the journal’s scope include:

• Fundamental Theories and New Principles: quantum measurement theory, quantum state manipulation, and the quantum realization of measurement units.
• Key Technologies and Devices: quantum sensors, probes, and imaging technologies, together with enabling optics, cryogenics, electronic circuits, materials, micro-nano fabrication, and signal processing methods.
• Equipment and Engineering Applications: the design, development and system integration of high-precision quantum measurement and metrology instrumentation, as well as calibration, optimization, and applications in industry and infrastructure engineering.
• Quantum Metrological Standards and Traceability Systems: next-generation metrological standards anchored in physical constants, international comparison and mutual recognition, construction of quantity traceability chains.
• Interdisciplinary Fields: cross-cutting progress in frontier physics, chemistry, materials science, environmental science, life science, and other related fields, especially new phenomena uncovered and characterized via quantum measurement and metrology approaches.

The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, perspectives, and commentaries. In particular, we encourage submissions of medium- and long-term outlooks, policy analyses, and technology roadmaps for the quantum measurement and metrology community. It aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, accelerate technological advancements, and highlight transformative research with significant real-world impact.
