物理学进展发表权威的评论，由专家对凝聚态物理学家感兴趣和重要的主题。它的目的是为有动机的读者与基本知识的期刊领域，并旨在引出重点的审查主题从作者的角度。该杂志的范围包括凝聚态物理和统计力学:广义上包括与量子信息、冷原子、软物质物理和生物物理的重叠。展望部分补充定期审查，有时由其领域的领导人发表更简短、更具挑衅性的文章，以促进社区内的辩论。这些文章对当前感兴趣的主题提出了简明的观点。所有的物理评论和观点的进步都是由独立的、匿名的专家评审委员会委托并接受同行评审的。读者:大学、工业和研究机构的物理学家、材料科学家和物理化学家。
Advances in Physics publishes authoritative critical reviews by experts on topics of interest and importance to condensed matter physicists. It is intended for motivated readers with a basic knowledge of the journal’s field and aims to draw out the salient points of a reviewed subject from the perspective of the author.The journal's scope includes condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics: broadly defined to include the overlap with quantum information, cold atoms, soft matter physics and biophysics.The Perspectives section complements the regular reviews with occasional shorter, more provocative articles by leaders in their fields in order to stimulate debate in the community. These articles present concise perspectives on topics of major current interest.All Advances in Physics reviews and perspectives are commissioned and subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Readership: Physicists, materials scientists and physical chemists in universities, industry and research institutes.
