Quantum Frontiers is Q2 in Condensed Matter Physics (rank 148 of 446), Q2 in Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics (rank 82 of 243) and Q2 in Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials (rank 114 of 318), by CiteScore 2025.
Quantum Frontiers is not in the Web of Science Core Collection (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI or ESCI), so Clarivate publishes no Journal Impact Factor for it. Its Scopus CiteScore is 5.2, quartile Q2, 66th percentile. Any "impact factor" quoted elsewhere is not the Clarivate metric. Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.957, quartile Q1, with an H-index of 11.
No article processing charge is recorded for it (source: OpenAlex). Confirm on the journal's own website, since some journals charge for extras such as colour figures.

h-index, i10-index and 2-year mean citedness are open, licence-clear metrics from OpenAlex — not a proprietary impact factor. The subject rank counts only journals that OpenAlex has a figure for; it is not a Scopus or Clarivate ranking. Updated 2026-10-14.
In its latest 99 research articles (2022–2026), authors are most often from China (77.8%), United States (6%) and Hong Kong SAR China (4.5%). More than half of recent authorship comes from one country.
Countries are counted fractionally, so a paper by authors from two countries counts half to each.
Scopus status: Active. No retracted papers are recorded. The Problematic Paper Screener flags none of its papers. These are indicators to check, not findings against the journal.
Retractions from OpenAlex; flags from the Problematic Paper Screener (Cabanac, Labbé & Magazinov, CC BY), 2026-09-21 export. A flag marks a paper for a closer look; it is not a finding against the journal.
Index data is curated from public sources (Scopus, Web of Science, ABDC, FT50, UT Dallas, DOAJ). CiteScore and quartiles reflect the latest available Scopus release. Always verify a journal's current status on its official source before submitting.
