Physical Review A (also known as PRA

History

In 1893, the

classical optics was merged into Physical Review A, unifying the classical and quantum parts of optics into a single journal.[7][8] In 2016, Physical Review A broadened its formal statement of coverage to explicitly include quantum information, which has been a section within the journal since 1998.[9]

Rapid Communications

Physical Review A Rapid Communications was introduced in 1981 to provide a venue for quick publication of high-impact articles similar to Physical Review Letters, but for a more specialized audience. As of May 1, 2012, the editors have made more explicit the requirement for significance in Rapid articles.[10] In addition, as of March 8, 2010, the editors have placed newly published Rapid Communications articles on rotation as highlights on the Physical Review A website, so as to give them more visibility.[11]

Editors' Suggestions

In August 2013, Physical Review A started marking a small number of papers published in the journal which the editors find to be of particular interest, importance, or clarity as Editors' Suggestions to give them higher visibility.[12]

Abstracting and indexing

As of 2020 Physical Review journals were abstracted and indexed in:[13]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal had an impact factor of 3.989 in 2020.[16]
