The peer-review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.About the CollectionQuantum technologies are gaining importance every day. Space exploration has been on the forefront of development of quantum technologies and investigation of quantum mechanical phenomena. It is thus evident, that space, with its demands on size, mass, and power, can be a major technology driver and accelerator for innovations in quantum technology. In this topical Collection, we want to summarize the uses of and advancement in quantum technologies:In Space - Quantum technologies in space can be deployed to investigate a number of fundamental questions not possible in terrestrial environments, especially: • Quantum Mechanical Phenomena: • Decoherence Experiments • Surface Interactions • 3D atomic systems • Et cetera • Fundamental Physics: • Weak Equivalence Principle Tests • Local Lorentz Invariance Tests • Local Position Invariance Tests • Search for new physicsFor Space - The exploration of space can benefit from the possibilities in quantum technologies. Quantum technologies can be deployed for space, especially in: • Navigation without GNSS • Deep Space Timing, Position and Navigation (PNT) • Inertial Sensing • Navigation along and Generation of Planetary Maps • Planetary and Lunar Research • Space Weather Monitoring • Gravitational Redshift • Gravitational Wave DetectionFrom Space - Our civilization has come to rely on global services that can be improved by or include already quantum technologies, such as: • Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) • Earth Observation • Gravimetry / Gravity Gradiometry • Quantum RADAR • Quantum LIDAR • Altimetry • Quantum Communication NetworksThis topical issue welcomes publications in all these areas with a specific focus given to the current strategic considerations at NASA, through the National Academies' Biological and Physics Sciences Decadal Survey report, and at ESA.

The APC price will be determined from the date on which the article is accepted for publication. The current APC, subject to VAT or local taxes where applicable, is: £1590.00/$2090.00/€1890.00Aims and ScopeThis international peer‐reviewed open access journal offers a forum for discourse on systemic challenges at the intersection of energy, sustainability and society for natural scientists, engineers, social and political scientists and industry experts. It is the particular aim of this journal to publish inter‐ and cross‐disciplinary papers that provide a substantial contribution to the holistic innovation of sustainable energy systems.The scope of the journal encompasses the whole innovation process, ranging from scientific research to both innovative approaches for technology implementation and the analysis of economic, social and environmental impacts of sustainable energy systems. We particularly welcome papers that integrate at least two dimensions of the energy, sustainability and society nexus and contribute to new holistic system solutions for the development of novel future energy. The journal strives to publish early scientific opinions on issues, which are just emerging and require crosscutting and creative thinking.Energy, Sustainability and Society publishes independently peer-reviewed original research papers, review papers, forum articles, book reviews, and short communications. We partner with scientists from the Helmholtz Association and the European Sustainable Energy Innovation Alliance (ESEIA) as the topics of the journal reflect their research field and focus.
