SISSA launched JQuant as a new open-access journal entering the field of quantum science, debuting with an initial issue of five papers, Quantum Zeitgeist reported. The non-profit publication focuses on the intersection of quantum information and fundamental physics to encourage interdisciplinary research directions.
SISSA Medialab manages non-profit JQuant journal
SISSA Medialab manages the editorial processes for the new venture, building on its operational experience with six other scientific publications currently in production. JQuant’s operational framework positions it as a non-profit initiative designed to address a growing need for dedicated forums in the rapidly expanding sector. The journal’s scope encompasses theoretical research across areas including quantum computation, sensing, and many-body physics. SISSA stated that JQuant is intended to become a leading voice for the quantum science community.
Award winning researchers contribute to first issue
The journal’s first issue establishes immediate credibility by featuring contributions from four internationally recognized researchers who have all received prestigious scientific awards. The initial papers include work by J. Ignacio Cirac, Barbara Kraus, John Preskill, and Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi. Their participation brings established authority to the platform’s initial five-paper rollout.
