Advances in Physics

Advances in Physics publishes authoritative critical reviews by experts on topics of interest and importance to condensed matter physicists. It is intended for motivated readers with a basic knowledge of the journal’s field and aims to draw out the salient points of a reviewed subject from the perspective of the author.

The journal's scope includes condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics: broadly defined to include the overlap with quantum information, cold atoms, soft matter physics and biophysics.

The Perspectives section complements the regular reviews with occasional shorter, more provocative articles by leaders in their fields in order to stimulate debate in the community. These articles present concise perspectives on topics of major current interest.

All  Advances in Physics  reviews and perspectives are commissioned and subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
Readership: Physicists, materials scientists and physical chemists in universities, industry and research institutes.
