History

• Optica Publishing Group announced the title on World Quantum Day, 14 April 2023, opened submissions in June and published the first issue in October 2023.（Optica Publishing Group）于 2023 年 4 月 14 日世界量子日宣布创办本刊，6 月开放投稿，10 月出版第 1 期。
• It was conceived as a companion to Optica, held to the same standard of quality, novelty and significance but restricted to quantum information science and technology.本刊定位为（Optica）的姊妹刊，秉持同样的质量、新颖性与重要性标准，但只收量子信息科学与技术领域的稿件。
• The journal has been gold open access from the start, and article processing charges were waived for everything published in its first year.本刊自创办起即为金色开放获取，首年发表的所有文章均免除文章处理费。
• Michael G. Raymer of the University of Oregon, founding director of the Oregon Center for Optical Molecular and Quantum Science, was the inaugural Editor-in-Chief.俄勒冈大学（Oregon Center for Optical Molecular and Quantum Science）创始主任（Michael G. Raymer）出任首任主编。
• Raymer marked the first year in an editorial in October 2024 and published a farewell editorial in September 2026, when Kartik Srinivasan of NIST took over.（Raymer）于 2024 年 10 月撰文纪念创刊一周年，2026 年 9 月发表告别社论，由（NIST）的（Kartik Srinivasan）接任。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.1, placing it in Q1 of Optics at 26 of 129 and Q1 of quantum science and technology at 7 of 28, within ESCI.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.1，在光学类别位列 Q1，排名 26/129，在量子科学与技术类别同样为 Q1，排名 7/28，收录于（ESCI）。

Editors
