Aims & Scope
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. Quantum electronics involves light-matter interactions, and of particular interest to JQE are articles related to optoelectronics and photonics. The Journal comprises advances in the understanding of and uses for optical processes in materials or the demonstration of devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts related to quantum information and quantum computing may be in scope if photon interactions or photon control are involved. Manuscripts reporting developments in systems and applications must emphasize fundamental principles or novel device features. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions) and light-matter interactions, especially in devices and systems. Whether the focus of a manuscript is photonic devices, systems, or optical phenomena, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
