Aims & Scope

MPLB opens a channel for the fast circulation of important and useful research findings in Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Physics, as well as Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. A strong emphasis is placed on topics of current interest, such as cold atoms and molecules, new topological materials and phases, and novel low-dimensional materials. The journal also contains a Brief Reviews section with the purpose of publishing short reports on the latest experimental findings and urgent new theoretical developments.
