About the Journal

Aim:

Journal of Quantum Computing Technologies and Systems (JQCTS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to the research, development, and practical application of quantum computing technologies, systems, and materials. The journal serves as a multidisciplinary platform for scientists, engineers, and industry leaders to publish cutting-edge innovations across the entire quantum ecosystem—from theoretical models and software frameworks to quantum hardware and enabling materials.

JQCTS aims to accelerate scientific discovery and industrial transformation by covering both foundational quantum theories and real-world implementations, with a strong focus on the materials and physical systems that enable scalable, reliable quantum devices. The journal also encourages submissions that explore the integration of quantum systems with classical computing, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies.
