Nature Physics
Nature Physics offers news and reviews alongside top-quality research papers in a monthly publication, covering the entire spectrum of physics. Physics addresses the properties and interactions of matter and energy, and plays a key role in the development of a broad range of technologies. To reflect this, Nature Physics covers all areas of pure and applied physics research. The journal focuses on core physics disciplines, but is also open to a broad range of topics whose central theme falls within the bounds of physics.

Rotational symmetry influences the mechanical properties of graphene
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02442-y
Rotational symmetry is shown to protect the quadratic dispersion of out-of-plane flexural vibrations in graphene and other two-dimensional materials against phonon–phonon interactions, making the bending rigidity of these materials non-divergent. The quadratic dispersion is then consistent with the propagation of sound in the graphene plane.

Strong tunable coupling between two distant superconducting spin qubits
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02497-x
The hybrid architecture of Andreev spin qubits made using semiconductor–superconductor nanowires means that supercurrents can be used to inductively couple qubits over long distances.

Anisotropic exchange interaction of two hole-spin qubits
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02481-5
A successful silicon spin qubit design should be rapidly scalable by benefiting from industrial transistor technology. This investigation of exchange interactions between two FinFET qubits provides a guide to implementing two-qubit gates for hole spins.

Mass difference measurements help to determine the neutrino mass
Nature Physics, Published online: 03 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02463-7
The Q-value of electron capture in 163Ho has been determined with an uncertainty of 0.6 eV c–2 through a combination of high-precision Penning-trap mass spectrometry and precise atomic physics calculations. This high-precision measurement provides insight into systematic errors in neutrino mass measurements.

Enhanced generation of magnonic frequency combs
Nature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02482-4
As counterparts to optical frequency combs, magnonic frequency combs could have broad applications if their initiation thresholds were low and the ‘teeth’ of the comb plentiful. Progress has now been made through exploiting so-called exceptional points to enhance the nonlinear coupling between magnons and produce wider magnonic frequency combs.

A compact neutral-atom fault-tolerant quantum computer based on new quantum codes
Nature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02480-6
A practical and hardware-efficient blueprint for fault-tolerant quantum computing has been developed, using quantum low-density-parity-check codes and reconfigurable neutral-atom arrays. The scheme requires ten times fewer qubits and paves the way towards large-scale quantum computing using existing experimental technologies.

Enhancement of magnonic frequency combs by exceptional points
Nature Physics, Published online: 29 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02478-0
Frequency combs, which are important for applications in precision spectroscopy, depend on material nonlinearities for their function, which can be hard to engineer. Now an approach combining magnons and exceptional points is shown to be effective.

Constant-overhead fault-tolerant quantum computation with reconfigurable atom arrays
Nature Physics, Published online: 29 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02479-z
Quantum low-density parity-check codes are highly efficient in principle but challenging to implement in practice. This proposal shows that these codes could be implemented in the near term using recently demonstrated neutral-atom arrays.

Estimates of the reproduction ratio from epidemic surveillance may be biased in spatially structured populations
Nature Physics, Published online: 25 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02471-7
Spatial dynamics can obscure epidemic trends from surveillance data, biasing reproduction ratio estimates over long periods. A spectral correction reweights incidence data to remove this bias, thus improving monitoring to inform response strategies.

Spin Berry curvature-enhanced orbital Zeeman effect in a kagome metal
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02487-z
Controlling orbital magnetic moments for applications can be difficult. Now local probes of a kagome material, TbV6Sn6, demonstrate how the spin Berry curvature can produce a large orbital Zeeman effect that can be tuned with a magnetic field.

Room-temperature flexible manipulation of the quantum-metric structure in a topological chiral antiferromagnet
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02476-2
Manipulation of the quantum-metric structure to produce topological phenomena has rarely been studied. Now, flexible control of the quantum-metric structure is demonstrated in a topological chiral antiferromagnet at room temperature.

Irreversible entropy transport enhanced by fermionic superfluidity
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02483-3
Connecting two superfluid reservoirs leads to both particle and entropy flow between the systems. Now, a direct measurement of the entropy current and production in ultracold quantum gases reveals how superfluidity enhances entropy transport.

Penning-trap measurement of the <i>Q</i> value of electron capture in <sup>163</sup>Ho for the determination of the electron neutrino mass
Nature Physics, Published online: 19 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02461-9
Electron capture in 163Ho can be used to determine the electron neutrino mass. The Q value of this process is crucial for the evaluation of the systematic uncertainty in such a measurement, and a 50-fold improvement is now reported.

Electrons bunch up in quantum light
Nature Physics, Published online: 15 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02473-5
When photons impinge on a material, free electrons can be created by the photoelectric effect. The emitted electron current usually fluctuates with Poisson statistics, but if squeezed quantum light is applied, the electrons bunch up.

Distinct elastic properties and their origins in glasses and gels
Nature Physics, Published online: 12 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02456-6
As amorphous solids, glasses and gels are similar, but the origins of their different elastic properties are unclear. Simulations now suggest differing free-energy-minimizing pathways: structural ordering for glasses and interface reduction for gels.
