BELLINGHAM, Washington, USA — SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, announces the launch of its newest journal, Advanced Quantum Photonics (AQP). The announcement was made during the inaugural SPIE Quantum Catalyst event in Boulder, Colorado. SPIE plans to announce the inaugural editor-in-chief and will post a call for papers in early 2026. The editorial board will represent diverse expertise across quantum sensing, biology, photonics, and engineering.
SPIE is launching Advanced Quantum Photonics to fill a critical gap in the quantum research publishing landscape. The journal will focus on applied quantum technology and will serve as the premier venue for engineers, industry practitioners, and cross-disciplinary researchers working on real-world quantum applications. Particular areas of focus will include quantum sensing, quantum-enabled imaging, chip-level integration, and quantum-adjacent technologies. The journal will also emphasize implementation, integration, real-world systems, experimental work, engineering methods, and cross-disciplinary applications in sensing, imaging, biology, and computing.
“Advanced Quantum Photonics is a very welcome — as well as very timely — addition to SPIE’s portfolio of journals,” said Chair of the SPIE Publications Committee Cather Simpson. “As we know, the quantum research community is rapidly evolving, with increasing emphasis on practical implementation and real-world deployment. Launching Advanced Quantum Photonics aligns with SPIE’s mission and strengths, meets this transformative moment of quantum technology underpinning economic growth, and will enable advances in this critical area.”
Advanced Quantum Photonics will be published in the SPIE Digital Library, which holds the world's largest collection of optics and photonics applied research, comprising more than 670,000 publications.
About SPIE
SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, brings engineers, scientists, students, and business professionals together to advance light-based science and technology. The Society, founded in 1955, connects and engages with our global constituency through industry-leading conferences and exhibitions; publications of conference proceedings, books, and journals in the SPIE Digital Library; and career-building opportunities. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $26 million in the international optics community through our advocacy and support, including scholarships, educational resources, travel grants, endowed gifts, and public-policy development.
