- Scalable spin squeezing from finite-temperature easy-plane magnetismNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02562-5 Generating highly squeezed states for quantum sensing requires precise entanglement properties, which makes it a hard task. Now a conjecture identifies a realistic regime of magnetic order at finite temperatures that enables scalable spin squeezing.
- Dark states of electrons in a quantum system with two pairs of sublatticesNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02586-x The identification of dark states—quantum states that do not interact with photons—in real materials may help to address many unsolved issues in condensed-matter physics. Now, they have been identified in palladium diselenide.
- Transient absorption of warm dense matter created by an X-ray free-electron laserNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02587-w Warm dense copper, created by an X-ray free-electron laser, features a transition from reverse saturable absorption to saturable absorption. The results can be used to benchmark non-equilibrium models of electronic structure in warm dense matter.
- Non-reciprocity forces nanoparticles into lockstepNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02588-9 Tuneable optical control enables the investigation of collective phases of motion in a pair of coupled levitated mechanical oscillators.
- Onwards and upwardsNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02593-y Experiments show that the shape of a biofilm, not just its cell doubling time, significantly impacts its expansion rate. This insight could guide new strategies for controlling biofilm growth.
- Non-Hermitian dynamics and non-reciprocity of optically coupled nanoparticlesNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02589-8 The tuneable and nonlinear nature of the interactions between two optically levitated nanoparticles allows the observation of the system’s non-Hermitian dynamics and a mechanical lasing transition.
- Exponentially tighter bounds on limitations of quantum error mitigationNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02536-7 Error mitigation has helped improve the performance of current quantum computing devices. Now, a mathematical analysis of the technique suggests its benefits may not extend to larger systems.
- PT-like phase transition and limit cycle oscillations in non-reciprocally coupled optomechanical oscillators levitated in vacuumNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02590-1 Non-reciprocal interactions between two optically levitated nanoparticles allow the observation of non-Hermitian dynamics and a mechanical lasing transition, and suggest applications in optomechanical sensing.
