開放系統(tǒng)和信息動力學促進數(shù)學、物理、工程和生命科學領域的跨學科研究，其重點是在量子和經典環(huán)境中廣泛理解的信息處理、存儲和傳輸問題。該雜志的特別興趣在于對開放復雜系統(tǒng)中涉及動力學和熱力學、控制、通信、過濾、記憶和合作行為等現(xiàn)象的信息理論方法。涵蓋范圍包括:量子信息理論，包括熵糾纏和測量，量子通信，計算和密碼學;開放系統(tǒng)、退相干、經典噪聲和量子噪聲;生物信息學;復雜動力系統(tǒng)的信息熵經典與量子系統(tǒng)的復雜性理論以及其他信息處理模型。該雜志提供了面向理論的材料(甚至純數(shù)學)以及應用性質的貢獻。

Open Systems and Information Dynamics promotes interdisciplinary research in mathematics, physics, engineering and life sciences centered on the issues of broadly understood information processing, storage and transmission, in both quantum and classical settings. The journal’s special interest lies in the information-theoretic approach to phenomena dealing with dynamics and thermodynamics, control, communication, filtering, memory and cooperative behaviour, etc., in open complex systems. Coverage includes such topics as: theory of quantum information, including entropy entanglement and measurement, quantum communication, computing and cryptography; open systems, decoherence, classical and quantum noise; bioinformatics;information/entropy in complex dynamical systems; complexity theory of classical and quantum systems; and other models of information processing.The Journal presents theoretically oriented material (even purely mathematical) as well as contributions of applied character.
