Authorship Policy
Authorship should incorporate and should be restricted to those who have contributed substantially to the work in one or more of the following categories:
• Conceived of or designed study
• Performed research
• Analyzed data
• Contributed new methods or models

Important Notes:
Manuscripts that were previously rejected by this journal cannot be resubmitted.
Changes of authorship or in the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript. Authors are strongly advised to ensure the correct author group when submitting the manuscript.
Types of Papers
All manuscripts should be clear, straightforward and concise.
Original Papers
Original Papers should report data from original research and have no strict limitations in length; however, they should not exceed 10 printed pages (one printed page corresponds to approximately 850 words of text, or 3 illustrations with their legends).
Reviews
Reviews should be comprehensive, fully referenced expositions of subjects of general interest, including background information and detailed critical analyses of current work in the field and its significance. Review articles have no limitation in length. The editors reserve the right to ask for abbreviation of the text if too excessive.
Short Communications
Short Communications should deal with a single point. They should not exceed 3 printed pages (one printed page corresponds to approximately 850 words of text, or 3 illustrations with their legends). “Results” and “Discussions” should be combined. Up to 20 references are recommended. The editors reserve the right to decide what constitutes a Short Communication.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission
Please follow the hyperlink “Submit manuscript” on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.
Please ensure you provide all relevant editable source files. Failing to submit these source files might cause unnecessary delays in the review and production process.
Submission of revisions
Please submit your revised manuscript as a marked-up text (Word) file in which all changes can be tracked. Additionally, please upload a line-by-line response to all reviewers’ remarks when you submit the revised manuscript.
Preprint Policy
Springer accepts posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites. Details of our policy on posting, licensing, citation of preprints and communications with the media about preprints of primary research manuscripts may be found here..
Authors should disclose details of preprint posting, including DOI and licensing terms, upon submission of the manuscript or at any other point during consideration at a Springer journal. Once the preprint is published, it is the author’s responsibility to ensure that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, including the DOI and a URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website.
Preprints may be cited in the reference list of articles under consideration at Springer journals as shown below:
Babichev, S. A., Ries, J. & Lvovsky, A. I. Quantum scissors: teleportation of single-mode optical states by means of a nonlocal single photon. Preprint at http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0208066 (2002). .
