The 2023 volume of the IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques (IEEE J-MMCT) will include a special section dedicated to ‘Quantum Computational Electromagnetism: From Nanoscale Modelling to Algorithms’. Recent advances in quantum physics are radically transforming Electromagnetics Engineering methodologies is several different ways. This special issue reports the latest achievements and future perspectives in the encounter of quantum mechanics with electromagnetism, with emphasis on computational methods and physics-based modelling at nanoscales. Topics include but are not limited to mathematical methods for quantum information; computing architectures for solving large computational electromagnetic problems; quantum effects at the nanoscale; interaction between electromagnetic field and particles. Focus will be devoted to applications oriented to antenna/waveguide/cavity design and analysis, microwave device architectures for qubits, numerical schemes conceived for general-purpose quantum computers, quantum security schemes, quantum radars, quantum sensors, related performance under quantum noise, and quantum circuit implementation. This special issue is brought together for the first time with effort from both the IEEE AP, EMC, and MTT societies.

The topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

Ising Models and Quantum Annealing (Scalability and performance, Spin Glasses)

The J-MMCT Editorial Board will review every paper in the same manner as any other regular submission.

Paper submission is accomplished through the ScholarOne Manuscript Central website (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmmct-ieee). When you start a new submission to the special section, please choose IMS 2019 as the type of your submission.

When you prepare your manuscript you should consult the instructions, templates and resources available at the IEEE Authors’ Center (https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org). Papers not following the standard IEEE journal template cannot be accepted into the peer review process. Please be aware that your contribution should be prepared as any other regular J-MMCT paper and that it will be evaluated via the same peer-review process. The quality of your contribution must meet the level required for a publication at J-MMCT.

Because of the time required for a second review cycle, papers receiving a major revision decision are not guaranteed to be published in the 2019 special section for IMS 2019, but may be published in the 2020 volume, if the paper is accepted.

Other Submission instructions:

(1) The conference(s) paper(s) must be included along with the submission as supplementary files.

(2) You must reference your own work, especially recent journal/conference publications. Discuss your related publications, especially the relevant conference paper, in the introduction. Distinguish the new results you present in your current manuscript from those found in your previous publications, to demonstrate that the paper includes sufficient new technical material to justify a new paper, when compared to all previously published papers.

(3) The following note should be added to the footnote on the first page of the paper: “This paper is an expanded version of a conference paper presented at IEEE MTT-S IMS 2019, Boston, MA.”

Submissions are accepted any time, but no later than September 3, 2019, 11:59 PM (Hawaii Standard Time). There will be no extension to this deadline, to ensure that the review process is concluded in time for the 2019 volume.
