March 2025 Issue – Transition to Continuous Publishing
Scientific progress depends not only on the production of knowledge but also on the timely, accessible, and efficient dissemination of that knowledge. As the Journal of Quantum Technologies and Informatics Research (JQTAIR / Kuantum Teknolojileri ve Enformatik Araştırmaları Dergisi – KTEAD), we are pleased to share with you the March 2025 issue, which marks the beginning of a new era both in terms of content and editorial policy.
Transition to Continuous Publishing
As of this issue, JQTAIR has officially adopted the Continuous Publishing Model. Under this model, accepted articles are published online immediately after the peer review and editorial processes are complete—without waiting for the full issue to be compiled. This shift is motivated by our commitment to ensuring that valuable research is shared promptly with the global scientific community. It also enhances the citation potential of articles by making them discoverable sooner.
A New Phase of International Recognition
Our journal has now been included in numerous prestigious international indexes, reflecting the quality, consistency, and scientific rigor of our publications. We are proud to note a significant increase in submissions from a wide range of countries—from Turkey to Europe, Asia, and beyond—further confirming JQTAIR’s position as a trusted platform in the field.
Highlight Article: A Quantum Leap in Uncertainty Modeling
Among the standout contributions in this issue is the article by Davut Emre Taşar, titled
"Quantum-Enhanced Conformal Methods for Multi-Output Uncertainty: A Holistic Exploration and Experimental Analysis",submitted from the University of Navarra.
In this groundbreaking work, the author successfully integrates classical conformal prediction methods with quantum-generated, high-dimensional probability distributions. By leveraging classical multi-output regression models and conformal calibration techniques, Taşar demonstrates how reliable uncertainty quantification can be achieved even when the underlying data is inherently quantum.
Notably, the article explores the use of 2-qubit circuits measured in Z, X, and Y bases, yielding 12-dimensional outputs. These are modeled with classical regressors and then evaluated via distribution-free conformal prediction—setting a new benchmark for hybrid quantum-classical machine learning. The author also provides open-source code and reproducible Colab notebooks, ensuring transparency and usability across the research community.
TÜBİTAK UME’s Contribution: A Milestone in Quantum Voltage Standards
Another remarkable contribution in this issue comes from the National Metrology Institute of Turkey (TÜBİTAK UME) with the article titled: "Development of a Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard Operating in a Cryogenic Refrigerator".
This paper details the development of a quantum voltage standard system based on the Josephson effect, integrated within a cryogen-free refrigeration system. The importance of this work lies not only in its technical precision but also in its role in building national infrastructure for quantum electrical metrology—bringing Turkey closer to international quantum measurement standards.
Such systems are essential for calibration, precision instrumentation, and quantum-enabled industrial applications, and this work represents a significant step forward in localizing cutting-edge measurement technologies.
Multidisciplinary Scope and Research Depth
This issue also presents several other high-quality studies that reflect the rich intersection between quantum technologies and informatics. Topics include quantum computing, hybrid data modeling, machine learning for decision-making, and experimental quantum algorithms.
This multidisciplinary range reinforces JQTAIR’s mission to serve as not just a physics or engineering journal, but a cross-disciplinary platform exploring the informatic and computational aspects of quantum science.
Looking Ahead
At JQTAIR, our vision extends beyond publishing—it is about building a scientific community of collaboration and trust. As quantum science rapidly evolves, we remain committed to upholding ethical standards, promoting rigorous peer review, and fostering innovation across disciplines.
In future issues, we look forward to welcoming more contributions in areas such as quantum algorithms, secure quantum communication, quantum-enhanced artificial intelligence, and hardware-embedded quantum technologies.
I extend my sincere gratitude to all contributing authors, dedicated reviewers, editorial board members, and institutional supporters. Your work ensures that we not only maintain the journal’s scientific integrity but also continue to elevate its global reach.
As we launch this first issue under the Continuous Publishing model, we reaffirm our mission: to support researchers in making their work visible without delay and to stand at the forefront of quantum and informatics research.
With kind regards,
