Optica Publishing Group announces launch of Optica Quantum
Outcome/Accomplishment
In May 2023, Optica Publishing Group announced it had published a new journal called Optica Quantum, which is dedicated to broadcasting a highly selective range of results in quantum information science and technology (QIST). Dr. Michael G. Raymer, an emeritus professor at the University of Oregon and a researcher at the Center for Quantum Networks (CQN), a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Engineering Research Center (ERC) based at the University of Arizona, serves as the journal’s editor-in-chief.
Impact/Benefits
The publishing group brought forth Optica Quantum to better serve the increasing need to archive the latest research in QIST brought about by the acceleration of quantum research across the globe. Enabled by the efforts of Optica and Dr. Raymer, the journal joins Optica’s portfolio of the most-cited journals in optics and photonics.
Explanation/Background
The concept of quantum light, a foundation of many QIST technologies, inspired the publisher group to name the new journal Optica Quantum. Published in September 2023, the online-only Gold Open Access journal began accepting submissions in June 2023.
The journal is dedicated to QIST enabled by photonics and optics, and publishes peer-reviewed theoretical and experimental research and technological advances in quantum optics. Alongside research results, the journal also publishes QIST subject reviews and opinion articles from established experts in the field. The creation of Optica Quantum adds to editor-in-chief Dr. Raymer’s history of advancing initiatives such as the U.S. National Quantum Initiative Act that have historically boosted research and development in QIST as well as at NSF CQN.
