Chip是由学校近期创办的基础学科变革性系列新刊之一，首期拟于2021年1月出版。中国科学院院士，上海交通大学党委常委、副校长毛军发担任主编，集成量子信息技术研究中心主任、长聘教授金贤敏担任执行主编。期刊编委来自中国、美国、英国、德国、意大利、新加坡、澳大利亚等十余个国家，均为国内外一流名校教授，其中国际编委数目占74%以上。中国以“四青”人才为主，充分保证稿源及约稿质量；国外以顶尖科学家为主，全方位增强期刊影响力和邀稿水平。Chip紧扣项目指南“优先建设领域”中的人工智能、集成电路、数学、物理学、光信息、凝聚态物理学等学科门类。发文领域涵盖变革性信息芯片新兴领域，旨在打通理论与技术的边界，探索前沿信息交叉学科无尽潜力，形成芯片类研究的聚集效应。

Chip is an international journal that publishes innovative researches in the emerging field of integrated chips that feature the revolutionary information technology. The journal focuses on the rapid development and potential application of new-generation information technologies. These include but are not limited to the following fields:

Quantum information: quantum algorithm, quantum machine learning, analog quantum computing, quantum circuits, quantum annealing

New types of Non-von Neumann computing and post-Moore devices: photonic computing, neuromorphic computing, other promising classical (not quantum) computing technologies

Internet of things and edge computing: advanced sensors, wireless signal transmission, low-power computing, energy harvesting, biomedical systems

Big Data and artificial intelligence: innovative hardware and architecture for data mining, information retrieval, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics

Interdisciplinary area related to chip issues: new chip materials, new device manufacturing techniques, algorithm and architecture of chips

Chip will bridge the boundaries between theory and technology, and form the aggregation effect of chip research. It aims to become a competitive top journal with strong international recognition and will serve as a platform for graduate students, professionals, and the engineering industry to jointly boost the cutting-edge information sciences and technologies.
