- Controlling interactions between high-frequency phonons and single quantum systems using phononic crystalsNature Physics, Published online: 18 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02697-5 The phonon density of states in diamond is engineered using phononic crystals to suppress single-phonon processes that induce decoherence in individual quantum emitters.
- Nishimori transition across the error threshold for constant-depth quantum circuitsNature Physics, Published online: 16 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02696-6 Measurements combined with post-processing of their outcomes can be used to prepare ordered quantum states. It has been shown that they can drive a Nishimori phase transition into a disordered state even in the presence of quantum errors.
- Evidence for fractional matter coupled to an emergent gauge field in a quantum spin iceNature Physics, Published online: 12 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02711-w Quantum fluctuations in frustrated magnets are expected to produce unconventional emergent behaviour. Neutron spectroscopy measurements now provide evidence for emergent gauge fields in a pyrochlore spin ice.
- Into the islands of inversionNature Physics, Published online: 12 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02718-3 In systematic studies of radioactive isotopes, the so-called islands of inversion appear to be promising areas of the nuclear chart in which to look for phenomena that challenge the traditional description of the atomic nucleus.
