The CAP’s physics magazine, Physics in Canada, will publish a special theme issue celebrating the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The goal of this special issue is to create an overview of Canadian research in quantum science and technology, broadly construed, showcasing its diversity and impact.
Physics in Canada publishes articles of general interest to the Canadian Physics community. Physics in Canada is not a scholarly journal and consequently does not publish original research.
The guest editors welcome articles suitable for, and understandable to, any practising or student physicist. Please note that all scientific submissions, contributed and invited, are sent out for review.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Quantum Biology
- Quantum Chemistry
- Quantum Computation
- Quantum Cryptography
- Quantum Education
- Quantum Foundations
- Quantum Gravity
- Quantum Information
- Quantum Materials
- Quantum Sensing
Types of contributions
- Feature review articles that describe a particular topic with a Canadian perspective (up to 1500 words, not including figures)
- One-page highlights of important questions in quantum science (up to 500 words, not including figures) – examples can be found in the Superconductivity issue
Process
If you would like to contribute to this issue, please submit a proposal to Guest Editor Ben Newling (bnewling@unb.ca). A proposal submission consists of a title, a list of authors, and an extended abstract of at most one page. Proposal submissions will be accepted until February 28, 2025.
Selected contributors will be sent instructions for preparation and submission of their official contributions. The final version of accepted contributions will be peer-reviewed before being published. All contributions will be gathered into a special issue to be posted on the public PiC-PaC website in December 2025.
