Articles, including papers, research notes, letters, and rapid communications must make significant, original and correct contributions to their own fields. The subject coverage includes: A tomic and molecular physics, Condensed matter and theory of statistical physics, Nuclear theory, Fluid theory and plasmas, Elementary particle physics and quantum field theory, Quantum mechanics and quantum optics, Quantum information and computation, Theoretical astrophysics, cosmology and relativity, Theoretical biophysics, Mathematical physics and computational physics (Mathematical papers should be clearly motivated by actual or potential application to physical phenomena). .

We are thankful to you all for our fruitful collaboration in 2010 and wish you new exciting scientific achievements in the year 2011.

Entropy, an international and interdisciplinary journal of entropy and information studies, publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish as much as possible their theoretical and experimental details. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. If there are computation and the experiment, the details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

IEEE Wireless Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of wireless communications. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of wireless communication systems.

The journal publishes short communications, research articles and topical reviews devoted to the application of advanced geometric methods (including differential geometry, algebraic geometry, global analysis, algebraic topology, non-commutative geometry, supergeometry) to quantum theory, classical and quantum field theory, gauge and BRST theory, unification models, non-perturbative quantum gravity, string and brane theory, classical and quantum integrable systems, quantum computation and control theory.

The International Journal of Quantum Information (IJQI) provides a forum for the interdisciplinary field of Quantum Information Science. In particular, we welcome contributions in these areas of experimental and theoretical research: * Quantum Cryptography * Quantum Computation * Quantum Communication * Fundamentals of Quantum MechanicsAuthors are welcome to submit quality research and review papers as well as short correspondences in both theoretical and experimental areas. Submitted articles will be refereed prior to acceptance for publication in the Journal.

Ihe International Journal of Theoretical Physics publishes original research and reviews in theoretical physics and neighboring fields. Dedicated to the unification of the latest physics research, this journal seeks to map the direction of future research by presenting original work in traditional physics like general relativity, quantum theory with relativistic quantum field theory, as used in particle physics; and by fresh inquiry into quantum measurement theory, and other similarly fundamental areas, among them quantum geometry and quantum logic, and others.

One of the most important physics periodicals published in Russia, JETP Letters presents timely and topical short papers, emphasizing fundamental theoretical and experimental research in all fields of physics, ranging from condensed matter, gravitation, field theory, elementary particles and nuclei, plasma, nonlinear physics, quantum information, biological physics and more. The Russian edition is published since 1965 (monthly double issues, and twice a month on-line). The journal accepts and publishes in this edition manuscripts submitted in Russian or English. The English edition of journal (twice a month), prepared by IAPC 'Nauka/Interperiodica' and distributed by Springer, appears two months after the original Russian version in print and on-line.

JOURNAL FOR THE HISTORY OF ASTRONOMY was founded in 1970 and is the only journal devoted to the history of astronomy from earliest times to the present, and to history in the service of astronomy. Its subject matter extends to such allied fields as the history of the relevant branches of mathematics and physics, and the use of historical records in the service of astronomy.

Journal of Computational Physics thoroughly treats the computational aspects of physical problems, presenting techniques for the numerical solution of mathematical equations arising in all areas of physics.
