- Ytterbium dopants for quantum simulationNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02948-z Understanding and controlling many-body interactions is essential for advancing quantum science. A crystal containing millions of strongly interacting ytterbium ion dopants has now been used to simulate complex quantum many-body phenomena.
- Quantum thermalization and Floquet engineering in a spin ensemble with a clock transitionNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02943-4 Using Floquet engineering, an ensemble of ytterbium-171 ions in an yttrium orthovanadate host crystal provides a platform for studying the dynamics of different quantum many-body models, including the realization of a time-crystalline phase.
- Nanophotonic quantum skyrmions enabled by semiconductor cavity quantum electrodynamicsNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02973-y Quantum optical skyrmions are promising for quantum photonic applications but have not been experimentally realized. Now nanophotonic quantum skyrmions are generated using a semiconductor quantum dot–Gaussian microcavity quantum electrodynamics system.
- QED tests in strong fieldsNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02959-w High-precision measurement of the hyperfine splitting in a radioactive isotope of hydrogen-like bismuth unlocks new possibilities for testing quantum electrodynamics in extreme magnetic fields and for probing nuclear structure.
- Publisher Correction: Absence of heat flow in ν = 0 quantum Hall ferromagnet in bilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 07 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02977-8 Publisher Correction: Absence of heat flow in ν = 0 quantum Hall ferromagnet in bilayer graphene
- Anyonic braiding in a chiral Mach–Zehnder interferometerNature Physics, Published online: 02 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02960-3 An interferometer design allows systematic investigation of the anyonic statistics of bulk fractional quantum Hall states.
- Dynamic phase transition in 1T-TaS<sub>2</sub> via a thermal quenchNature Physics, Published online: 27 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02938-1 The photoinduced hidden metallic state in 1T-TaS2 has so far been stabilized only at cryogenic temperatures. Now it is shown that accessing an additional mixed-phase long-lived metastable state can stabilize the hidden phase at higher temperatures.
- Atoms revolt against tweezer-imposed orderNature Physics, Published online: 27 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02946-1 The combination of optical tweezer arrays with high-finesse cavities opens the door to the study of mesoscopic finite-size effects in the critical dynamics and optomechanical response of atomic ensembles.
