The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Quantum, Qubit, Quantum computer, Quantum information and Quantum entanglement. Npj Quantum Information explores research in Quantum alongside concepts in Photon and other areas of study in Photonics. It explores topics in Qubit which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Quantum dot, Optoelectronics, Quantum technology and Quantum decoherence.
In npj Quantum Information, Algorithm, Computation, Quantum algorithm and Spin-½ are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Quantum computer research. The studies in Quantum information featured incorporate elements of Theoretical physics and Quantum optics. Quantum network and Photon entanglement are all areas of Quantum entanglement tackled in npj Quantum Information.
The Quantum mechanics research dealing mostly with Coherence (physics) is the focus of the journal. The in-depth study on Quantum state also explores topics in the intersecting field of State (functional analysis). The journal features Quantum information science research that overlaps with concepts in Quantum key distribution.
Quantum computer, Quantum, Qubit, Quantum information and Quantum algorithm are the main subjects of interest in the journal papers. While Quantum computer is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Computer engineering and Computational science. While Quantum is the key highlight in the published papers, thet also covered some subjects on Statistical physics and Ground state.
The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Quantum, Qubit, Quantum computer, Quantum entanglement and Quantum mechanics. It addresses concerns in Quantum which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Algorithm, Statistical physics and Topology. The work on Algorithm tackled in it brings together disciplines like Quantum circuit and Quantum algorithm, Quantum machine learning.
Npj Quantum Information addresses concerns in the field of Topology by exploring it in line with topics in Quantum technology which intersect with Field (physics) subjects. While the journal focused on Qubit, it was also able to explore topics like Quantum decoherence, Quantum dot, Optoelectronics, Noise (electronics) and Spin-½. Specifically, studies on Photon are prevalent in the Quantum mechanics works discussed.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in npj Quantum Information (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in npj Quantum Information (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 2.63% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.16% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.35% of all publications and 29.05% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For students interested in building a career in Physics while enjoying the flexibility of learning from home, exploring the physics online degree options can be a great starting point. These programs provide a cost-effective way to gain essential knowledge and skills needed for various scientific roles.
Many physics graduates are increasingly seeking careers that support remote work. Identifying the best degree for remote work can help students align their education with future job flexibility, especially in fields like data analysis, research, and technology development.
Beyond traditional physics roles, related fields such as forensic science offer exciting career opportunities where physics principles are applied to solve crimes. Those interested in these paths can learn more about careers in forensics, which combine scientific expertise with investigative work.
Interestingly, physics graduates with strong organizational and leadership skills may also pursue unique roles like athletic director positions. Understanding the education and career trajectory of athletic administration can provide additional career options, as outlined in the guide on athletic director jobs.
