Special Issue Information
Professor Francesco Saverio Persico
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the memory of our colleague and friend Professor Francesco Saverio Persico, who passed away in 2017. He has been Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Palermo, Italy. He has given fundamental contributions to theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum optics, quantum electrodynamics, atomic and molecular physics.
This Special issue will include original papers and review papers on subjects related to the research fields where Prof. Persico has been active, mainly atom-radiation interaction, quantum vacuum fluctuations, Casimir and Casimir-Polder interactions, radiation-mediated intermolecular interactions, spin-phonon interactions, atomic and molecular physics in strong external electromagnetic fields, high harmonic generation and nonlinear quantum mechanics, laser interaction with molecules and nanomolecules, superradiance, and in general in the fields of quantum optics and quantum electrodynamics, atomic and molecular physics, as well as condensed matter physics.
All these research subjects are still very active subjects of the current research in theoretical and experimental physics.
Prof. Dr. Pietro Paolo Corso
Prof. Dr. Roberto Passante

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Physics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
