Quantum algorithms
This Collection invites original research articles on quantum algorithms, focusing on the latest advancements in their design and implementation.
Collection Overview
Scientific Reports has launched a Guest-Edited Collection on Quantum algorithms.
While large-scale, general-purpose quantum computers are still in development, the study of quantum algorithms has been an active field for more than three decades. Quantum algorithms are designed to operate on quantum computers, providing a speed or other efficiency enhancements compared to any classical algorithm. These characteristics have made quantum algorithms key for the development of the next generation of quantum technologies; as such, they have been the focus of research in the scientific community, driven also by advances in quantum hardware and the increasing need for efficient solutions to complex problems in cryptography, optimisation, and simulation of quantum systems.
This will be a Collection of original research papers and will be open for submissions from all authors – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Scientific Reports more generally. We are welcoming submissions until 12th August 2026.
Why is this Collection important?
"Quantum algorithms feel especially meaningful to me because they’re the key to unlocking what quantum computers can actually do. They offer the chance to solve problems that overwhelm classical machines—from protecting data to designing new medicines and materials. I’m excited about this collection because it brings together fresh ideas that connect theory with real hardware progress. It has the potential to push the field forward by highlighting practical, scalable approaches rather than just abstract possibilities. Researchers should consider submitting because this collection provides a visible, interdisciplinary platform where impactful algorithmic advances can genuinely shape the future of quantum computing."

Why submit to a collection?
Collections like this one help promote high-quality science. They are led by Guest Editors, who are experts in their fields, and In-House Editors and are supported by a dedicated team of Commissioning Editors and Managing Editors at Springer Nature. Collection manuscripts typically see higher citations, downloads, and Altmetric scores and provide a one-stop-shop on a cutting-edge topic of interest.
Who is involved?
Guest Editors:
- Diego Andrade, University of A Coruña, Spain
- A. Kamaraj, Mepco Schlenk Engineering College, India
- Utpal Roy, Indian Institute of Technology Patna, India
Internal Team:
- In-House Editor: Silvia Butera, Scientific Reports, UK
- Commissioning Editor: Robert Moran, Fully OA Brands, Springer Nature, UK
- Managing Editor: Rebecca Chan, Fully OA Brands, Springer Nature, UK

Subject: Expression of Interest – Quantum Simulation of Electromagnetic Spacetime Effects / Börekci Energy Field Framework
Dear Collection Editors,
I am writing to express my interest in contributing to the Quantum Algorithms Collection published in Physics (Springer Nature).
My ongoing research — partially documented as a preprint on Research Square — explores what I term the Börekci Energy Field framework: a theoretical and experimental investigation into the quantum vacuum and spacetime behavior inside a stationary volume enclosed by a high-velocity electromagnetic energy shell. The system combines rotating superconducting electromagnets (5 T), relativistic electron arcs (25 MV, γ ≈ 50), W-Re electrode assemblies, and positron traps to generate conditions relevant to Lense-Thirring frame dragging, Euler-Heisenberg vacuum nonlinearity, and Casimir boundary effects at macroscopic scales.
The connection to quantum algorithms arises at two levels. First, simulating the quantum field behavior inside a curved-spacetime cavity — particularly the modification of vacuum modes by a relativistic electromagnetic boundary — is a computationally intractable problem for classical systems and a natural candidate for quantum simulation algorithms. Second, the framework raises open questions about whether quantum decoherence rates and entanglement structure inside such an enclosed volume differ measurably from free-space predictions, a question that quantum error correction models and quantum channel algorithms may help formalize.
I would welcome guidance on whether a manuscript developing the quantum simulation angle of this framework — including algorithmic approaches to modeling QED vacuum modification under strong-field electromagnetic confinement — would be within scope for this Collection.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
H. Börekci

Thank you for your comment, Dr. Börekci. Unfortunately we are unable to provide specific scope guidance on manuscripts prior to submission. If you would like to read more about the Collection, including its scope, please visit the Collection webpage linked in the above post.
DEAR GRAY,
Thank you for the kind and informative explanation. I have greatly improved the setup in my preprint article published in Researchsquare. My intention is not to win awards or become rich, but believe me, if independent laboratories can replicate the work I described as an energy shell in a miniature form, and the Lorent constant is large, it will be a breakthrough. Because it is possible to conduct countless medical, biological, physical, and chemical studies in a volume with spacetime dilation.
I would like to know if you are interested in this. Also, could you help me find people in Europe who can support me in this matter? Perhaps we can work together. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Sincerely,
DR H BÖREKCİ
