Publications Calls for Papers

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Integrated Opto-electronics in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). The recent unprecedented explosive growth of AI/ML is opening up humongous application space and market opportunities, likely beyond the large language model (LLM). The fast-growing workloads and large computing power required to deal with ever increasing complexity in various computations, along with the concern of unsustainable power consumption, clearly demand new generations of hardware architectures with pertinent components. These essentially demand the parallel strategies of scaling-up and scaling-out, in which the photonics have been well-recognized as a promising technology to support. Building upon the previous JSTQE special issues (such as “Photonics for Deep Learning and Neural Computing” in 2020, and “Optical Computing” in 2023), the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of Integrated Opto-Electronics in AI/ML, with the purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to highlight the recent progress and future trends addressing the challenges and opportunities in the areas of leading-edge Integrated Optoelectronics technologies. These are not only on Computing, but also on the efforts, such as in solving the so-called “interconnect bottleneck” in dealing with training and inference. With additional emphasis, this issue would like to pay particular attention to industrial productization and implementation status in relevant fields.

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Quantum materials and quantum devices (QMDs). The field of Quantum materials and quantum devices explores the principles of quantum mechanics via novel materials and devices having unique quantum properties, which can be exploited for enhancing the device performances for quantum sciences. Recently, with the rapid development of quantum information, including quantum communication, computation, metrology, encryption and sensing, novel solid-state platforms have attracted more and more attention for quantum technologies. The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of Quantum materials and quantum devices. The purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to highlight the recent progress and trends in developing leading-edge quantum materials and device applications that help revolutionizing the information processing.

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Power and Efficiency Scaling in Semiconductor Lasers. After initial proof-of-concept demonstrations, power- and efficiency-scaling are a central goal of semiconductor laser development, for broad societal benefits, reducing energy consumption and enabling new applications, and rapid progress is currently seen in a broad range of semiconductor lasers, enabled by new insights from studies in device physics and material science and by innovation in device design, materials and technology. The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics therefore invites manuscript submissions in the area of Power and Efficiency Scaling in Semiconductor Lasers. The purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to summarize current trends, analyze critical limits and present anticipated next steps in research.
