**Information-Theoretic Concepts in Physics**

Deadline for manuscript submissions:

31 August 2023

Guest editors:

Michael Cuffaro (LMU Munich)
Stephan Hartmann (LMU Munich)

Description:
-----
Information-theoretic concepts are becoming increasingly important in physics, both in applied and theoretical physics. Examples include using quantum-mechanical systems to perform computations and transmit information; the use of information-theoretic concepts to characterize gravitational phenomena, such as black holes; informational axiomatizations and interpretations of quantum theory; and many others.

The goal of this Special Issue is to provide an interdisciplinary snapshot of the foundational and philosophical research at the cutting edge of this important area of physics. We welcome submissions focused on topics such as (but not restricted to):

- Historical perspectives on the use of informational concepts in physics;
- Quantum and classical information;
- Quantum and classical computational resources;
- Informational interpretations and axiomatizations of physical theories;
- Informational approaches to spacetime phenomena;
- Informational characterizations of thermodynamical phenomena and the thermodynamics of information;
- Informational characterizations of open systems phenomena;
- General methodological and philosophical issues related to the physics of information.

Manuscript submission information:
-----
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, the submission form can be accessed here: https://susy.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/?journal=entropy. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy/instructions). Entropy (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy) is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
